For the Petitioners Mr. Anwar Hossain, Ms. Ratna Ghosh, Advocate ... ...For the State All the petitioners are named as assailants by the injured who suffered grievous hurt in an incident of physical assault relating to Panchayet election.

Enlarging the petitioners on anticipatory bail will send a wrong signal to the society, moreso since the incident of assault related to the election process.

In such circumstances, we are unable to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

Prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners is rejected. CRM (A) 5415 of 2023 is dismissed.
