some known persons were fighting in front of him. So, when he went to stop them, they quarreled with him unnecessarily and also used filthy language. Among them, one person by name Sameer Khan/accused No.1 resident of Yakuthpura, Hyderabad has suddenly took the knife and stabbed him on his back right side of the wrist and some others have beaten him with hands.

It is to be mentioned here that accused No.1 (Mohd. Moiz Uddin @ Sameer Khan) filed Crl.P.No.5249 of 2025 and during the pendency of the same, they moved I.A.Nos.2 and 3 of 2025 with a prayer to permit them to enter into compromise and to record the settlement to quash the proceedings in Crime No.79 of 2025 against accused No.1. The Coordinate Bench vide order dated 17.04.2025 referred the parties to the High Court Legal Services Committee for identification and to verify the voluntariness in arriving the settlement. The Secretary, High Court Legal Services

Committee, has submitted report on 24.04.2025 stating that the parties were identified by their respective counsel and also on verification of Aadhar cards/ Identity cards and the enquiries revealed that the parties have willfully and without coercion entered into the settlement/compromise. Thereby, the Coordinate Bench of this Court quashed the proceedings in Crime No.79 of 2025 against accused No.1.

It is the apprehension of the petitioner that he is intending to file quash petition, but in the intermittent period the police are trying to arrest him. As the proceedings against accused No.1-(Mohd. Moiz Uddin @ Sameer Khan) is quashed vide order dated 01.05.2025, the petitioner has made out a strong case for granting of anticipatory bail. 7.

Having considered the rival submissions made by the respective parties and after perusal of the material available on record, this Court deems fit to grant anticipatory bail. 8.

Taking into consideration of the above facts, this Court is of the considered view that petitioner/accused No.7 is entitled for grant of anticipatory bail, subject to the following conditions:
