According to the first informant, on the date of incident, which took place on 16th December 2024, three unknown persons assaulted him by iron rod due to which he sustained fracture injury to his right leg. According to the prosecution, the first informant was assaulted due to certain business related issues and the present applicant was one of the assailant. 4.

The anticipatory bail is sought on the ground of parity. In support of said ground, the learned counsel for the applicant has produced on record copy of order passed by this Court dated 10th September 2025 in Anticipatory Bail Application No. 2466 of 2025. By the said order, this Court has released the co-accused Jeetendra L. Patil on anticipatory bail.

6.

I have perused the charge-sheet. The role attributed to the present applicant and co-accused Jeetendra Patil appears to be identical. Considering the said fact, I am inclined to release the applicant on anticipatory bail. In the result the following order is passed.
