1. The matter is heard through video conferencing.
2. The Applicants have preferred the first bail application under Section 438 of Cr.P.C. for apprehending arrest in connection with Crime No. 42/2020 registered at Police Station Mulmula, District - JanjgirChampa, (C.G.) for the offence punishable under Sections 452, 294, 506, 323/34 of Indian Penal Code.
3. According to the case of the prosecution, on 10.03.2020 around 4:15 PM, on dispute to fill air in motorcycle, present applicants alongwith other co-accused persons namely Shubham Dubey and Ayush Singh entered in the house of the complainant and assaulted him and his family members with hand and fists due to which they sustained
injuries. On the basis of the report made by the complainant, offence has been registered against applicants.
4. Learned Counsel appearing for the applicants submits that the applicants are innocent and have been falsely implicated in the present case due to some dispute with the complainant. He further submits that apart from offence under Section 452 of I.P.C., all other offences are bailable. According to the statement of eye-witnesses, incident occurred in the varandah adjoining to the road, therefore, offence under Section 452 of I.P.C. is not made out. It is further submitted that co-accused persons have already been granted benefit of anticipatory bail vide order dated 19.6.2020 passed in MCRCA No. 520/2020. Thus, it is prayed that present applicants may also be granted benefit of anticipatory bail.
5. Learned Counsel appearing for the State opposes the bail application.
6. I have heard learned Counsel appearing for the parties.
7. Taking into consideration the submissions put-forth on behalf of the parties, considering the facts and circumstances of the case, evidence collected by the prosecution and further considering the fact that coaccused persons have already been granted benefit of anticipatory bail vide order dated 19.6.2020 passed in MCRCA No. 520/2020, without further commenting on other merits of the case, I am inclined to extend the benefit of anticipatory bail to the present applicants.
8. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed. 9.
It is directed that in the event of arrest of the applicants in connection with the aforesaid crime, they shall be released on anticipatory bail on each of them furnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs. 20,000/- with one solvent surety for the like sum to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer/Presiding Officer of the concerned trial Court.
