Criminal Application No. 2933 of 2016 stands dismissed as withdrawn to the extent of applicant No. 2, with liberty as prayed for.
3.
The applicant No. 1, in Criminal Application No. 2933 of 2016 and all the applicants in Criminal Application Nos. 2934 of 2016 and 2938 of 2016 are seeking their release on regular bail, in connection with Crime No. I-136 of 2016, registered with Vaijapur Police Station, Tq.

Perused the first information report. The incident is alleged on 19th May, 2016. There is delay of one day in lodging first information report. All the applicants, who are women before this Court, the role attributed to them is they have assaulted complainant by fist blows. The complainant suffered simple injuries. The applicants are behind the bars since more than a month.
(3) 5.
In the above background, no fruitful purpose will be served in detaining of the applicants, who are women and against whom, no serious attributions in the first information report are made. 6.
in my opinion, the applicants are entitled to be released on bail. Hence, I pass following order :
