This matter is taken up through Hybrid arrangement (video conferencing/physical mode).

Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for the State.

This is an application under section 438 Cr.P.C. for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners in connection with Muribahal P.S. Case No.144 of 2021 corresponding to G.R. Case No. 139 of 2021 pending in the Court of learned J.M.F.C., Muribahal for commission of alleged offences under sections 450/394/323/427/506/34 of the Indian Penal Code and sections 25 and 27 of the Arms Act.

Learned counsel for the State on instruction submitted that there are three injured persons in the case, namely,

// 2 // Ugrasen Baitharu, Arua Saraf and Purander Saraf and they have sustained simple injuries. He further submitted that the petitioner no.2 Ugrasen Saraf is having one criminal antecedent.

Considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioners that it is a case and counter case and taking into account the nature of accusation against the petitioners and the injuries sustained by the injured persons, I am inclined to release the petitioners on anticipatory bail and accordingly, this Court directs that in the event of arrest of the petitioners in connection with the aforesaid case, they shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/-(rupees ten thousand) each with two sureties each for the like amount to the satisfaction of the arresting officer with further conditions that they shall make themselves available for interrogation by the I.O. as and when required and they shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing any facts to the Courts or to the Investigating Officer.

Violation of any of the above conditions shall entail cancellation of bail.

The ABLAPL is accordingly disposed of.

Issue urgent certified copy as per Rules.
