The accused also obstructed him from discharging his official duty and humiliated him knowing that he belonged to the SC community, in the presence of the bus conductor and passengers.
3.
Heard Sri Shaikh Ahmed Ali, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner as well as Sri D. Arun Kumar, learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing on behalf of the respondent - State.
4.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is innocent of the alleged allegations and has been in jail since 19.11.2025. He further submitted that the material part of the investigation has been completed and that accused No.2 was arrested and released on bail. He contended that the other crimes registered against the petitioner are pending trial and that, in some other cases, after trial, the petitioner was acquitted. Therefore, he prayed the Court to grant pre-arrest bail to the petitioner by allowing this Criminal Petition.
5.
On the other hand, learned Additional Public Prosecutor opposed the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner stating that the there are serious allegations against the petitioner. Further, the investigation was not yet completed and that the rowdy sheet was also opened against the petitioner. At this stage, granting of bail to the petitioner does not arise. Therefore, he prayed the Court to dismiss the criminal petition.

19.11.2025. As seen from the record, the material part of the investigation has been completed and L.Ws.1 to 13 witnesses have been examined.
Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and the incarceration period of the petitioner, this Court deems it fit to grant bail to the petitioner, subject to the following conditions: i.
