Considering the submissions advanced by learned counsel for the parties as well as the facts and circumstances of the present case, particularly the fact that no specific overt act is attributed to the petitioner, nor any injury is attributed to him; the petitioner has clean antecedents; and that his case is similarly situated to that of co-accused Gurdeep Singh, who has already been granted anticipatory bail by this Court vide order dated 15.05.2026 passed in CRM-M-27799-2026, this Court finds it a fit case for grant of anticipatory bail. Accordingly, the present petition is disposed of with a direction to the petitioner to join the investigation as and when required by the investigating officer. In the event of arrest, the petitioner shall be released on anticipatory bail on his furnishing personal bail/surety bonds to the satisfaction of arresting/investigating officer and he shall abide by the conditions as envisaged under Section 482(2) of the BNSS.
