Order No.

This matter is taken up by video conferencing mode.

Heard 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 G.R. Case No.322 of 2021 arising out of Gania P.S. Case No.73 of 2021 pending in the Court of learned J.M.F.C., Daspalla for alleged commission of offences under sections 323/324/341/307/506/379/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

Perused the F.I.R.

// 2 // Considering the submission made by the learned counsel for the petitioners that due to previous dispute between the parties, the case has been foisted and there are no such materials against the petitioners so as to attract the ingredients of the offence under section 307 of the Indian Penal Code and the injured Sansari Rana has sustained simple injury, which is not disputed by the learned counsel for the State after verifying the injury report from the case diary, 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 such facts to the Court or to the Investigating Officer.

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

The ABLAPL is accordingly disposed of.
