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 of Cr.P.C. for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners in connection with Bansada P.S. Case No. 61 of 2022 corresponding to G.R. Case No. 138 of 2022 pending in the Court of learned J.M.F.C., Chandbali for the commission of the alleged offences punishable under sections 294, 323, 324, 506/34 of the Indian Penal Code.
// 2 // Perused the first information report annexed to the anticipatory bail application.
Considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioners that on account of political dispute between the parties during the last Gram Panchayat election, the case has been foisted and the fact that the offences are triable by Magistrate and on hearing the learned counsel for the State, 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. The ABLAPL is accordingly disposed of.
Issue urgent certified copy as per Rules.
