It is the case of the prosecution that there was a financial dispute between the first informant and the co-accused in the present crime. It is alleged that on account of said financial dispute, on the date of incident which took place on 29th January 2026, the present applicant and other co-accused assaulted the first informant and the other injured in the present crime by wooden stick and iron rod and attempted to commit their murder. 4.
I have heard the learned counsel appearing for the applicant and the learned APP for the respondent / State. 5.
Learned counsel for the applicants submits that on the date of incident the first informant and his associates were aggressor and assaulted the present applicants and their relative Abdul Kadir, who died due to said assault. It is submitted that thus there is a cross FIR for the offence punishable under Section 103 of the B.N.S. It is submitted that even otherwise no specific overt-act is attributed to the present applicants. It is submitted that there are no other criminal antecedents against the applicants. 6.
On the other hand learned APP for the respondent/State submits that there are in all four injured in the present crime. It is submitted that one of the injured sustained grievous injury. Learned APP submits that considering the nature of crime, the applicants may not be released on anticipatory bail. 7.
I have perused the present FIR. No specific overt-act is attributed to the present applicants. The alleged grievous injury 2/3
sustained by the Mobin Siddiqui is not attributed to the present applicants.
8.
There is a cross FIR against the first informant and his associates for the offence of murder. There are no other criminal antecedents against the applicant. Considering the overall facts and circumstances, I am inclined to release the applicants on anticipatory bail. In the result, the following order is passed.
