...For the State.

Apprehending arrest in connection with Ratua Police Station Case No. 640 of 2020 under Sections 341/324/325/308/506/34 of the Indian Penal Code, the petitioners have filed the instant application for anticipatory bail.

Five persons are joined in the instant application seeking anticipatory bail in connection with the aforementioned case initiated on an alleged incident of scuffle and the injury caused by bony.

We had an occasion to peruse the medical papers annexed to the case diary, where it has been suggested that the nature of the injury is not so severe. We further notice that the attending Doctor advised for a CT scan of the injured.

Today the learned Advocate for the State produces the report of the CT scan.

After perusing the same and considering the fact that the charge sheet has been submitted, we do not find any justification in the custodial interrogation of the petitioner. Accordingly, the prayer for anticipatory bail is allowed.

In the event of arrest, the petitioners shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- each, with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the arresting officer of the concerned police station subject to the condition that the petitioners will appear before the Trial Court on every date of hearing and on further conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure. In the event, the petitioners fail to do so without any justifiable cause, the Trial Court shall be at liberty to pass an appropriate order in accordance with law without further reference to this Court. The application for anticipatory bail, being CRM 1962 of 2021 is thus disposed of.
