Informant and his mother by the name of Chandrabhaga were assaulted by applicant Jalindar Dangat, Sudhir Dangat, Latabai Dangat, Janabai Dangat, Rohini Dangat and Ashiwni Dangat.

On these allegations, First Information Report came to be lodged against the applicants.

- 3 - sustained simple injuries. Learned APP Shri Narwade submits that the tractor is yet to be seized. So far as the other aspects are concerned, the investigation seems to have been substantially completed. Therefore, I do not fnd any reason to deny bail to the applicants. No extra ordinary circumstance is brought on record to reject bail to the applicants. Applicants have no criminal antecedents. They are not likely to fee from justice. In this view of the matter, I am inclined to release the applicants on bail. Hence the following order :-

ORDER

i) Application is allowed.

ii) Each of the applicants be released on PR Bond of Rs.20,000/- (Rs. Twenty Thousand) with one solvent surety in the like amount in connection with Crime No. 0084/2022 registered at Rahuri Police Station, Dist.
