3. As per the prosecution case, informant and her husband was at her home on 02-05-2024 and they were taking lunch in the meantime Ranjeet Kumar, Guddu Kumar, Premlata Devi, Reshmi Devi and 4-5 other came at her home and they began to assault upon her husband with axe & iron rod and
2/4 when she went to save him in the meantime they pointed pistol to her and accused Mathura pushed her daughter and they also assaulted upon her with iron rod due to which she became unconscious, thereafter injured persons were admitted to the hospital.
4. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that petitioners have clean antecedent. The allegation as alleged in the FIR is false and fabricated and the petitioners have not committed any offence as alleged in the FIR. The present case is counter blast of Bankebazar P.S.Case No.36 of 2024 filed by petitioner No.2 against the informant and her family members. From a bare perusal of the FIR it appears that although the petitioners are named in the FIR but there is no specific allegation of any assault or overt-act attributed against them. There is specific allegation against co-accused person, namely, Mathura Prasad that he pushed the daughter of the informant due to which informant side has received the injury but the injury report of the informant side suggests that all the injuries inflicted upon the injured persons are simple in nature.
5. Learned A.P.P. for the State, on the other hand, has vehemently opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners.
