The case of the prosecution is that, on 25.07.2025, the de-facto complainant lodged a report before the police stating that, on 22.07.2025, the complainant had visited his cousin brother and after spending about 2 hours with his cousin, the complainant began his journey back to home on his bike. When he reached Nalandhanagar, accused Nos.1 and 2 came in a car and blocked his path and assaulted the complainant and hit the complainant with hands and kicked and also took his iPhone-14. As such, initially, the police registered a case for the offences punishable under Sections 118(1) and 309 of the BNS and later, basing on the injury certificate altered the section of law from Section 118(1) of the BNS to Section 118(2) of the BNS.

Heard Sri B. Bhagath Sain, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners as well as Sri D. Arun Kumar, learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing on behalf of the respondent - State.
4.
Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners are falsely implicated in this case only to avoid the amount given by the petitioners herein to the de-facto complainant and the allegations itself shows that the petitioners herein have assaulted and hit the de-facto complainant with hands and legs, therefore, Section 118(2) of the BNS is not applicable to the present case and there is no such weapon used by the petitioners and mere grievous injuries is not a ground to alter the Section of law from 118(1) of the BNS to Section 118(2) of the BNS and the petitioners are ready to cooperate with the investigating authority. Therefore, he prayed the Court to grant pre-arrest bail to the petitioners by allowing this criminal petition. 5.
On the other hand, learned Additional Public Prosecutor opposed the submissions made by learned counsel for petitioners stating that the de-facto complainant sustained grievous injuries and the petitioners herein snatched the mobile phone of the de-facto complainant and the allegations against them are serious in nature and prayed the Court to dismiss the Criminal Petition.
6.
In the light of the submissions made by both the learned counsel and on a perusal of the material available on record, the petitioners herein are arrayed as accused Nos.1 and 2 and according to the prosecution, there is a financial transaction between the petitioners and the de-facto complainant and due to the said disputes, the petitioners herein are falsely implicated in this case to avoid the payment of amount by the petitioners to the de-facto complainant. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and the injury certificate, this Court deems it fit to grant pre-arrest bail to the petitioners, subject to the following conditions: i.
