It is the case of the prosecution that on the date of incident which took place on 4th October 2025, on account of business rivalry the present applicants assaulted the first informant by stick, due to which he sustained grievous injuries. 4.

Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant No.1 was also injured in the alleged incident and there is a cross FIR to that effect. It is submitted that the applicants are ready to cooperate in the investigation. It is further 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 eye-witnesses to the incident. It is submitted that to recover the stick, the custodial interrogation of the applicants is necessary. It is submitted that considering the nature of crime, the applicants may not be released on anticipatory bail.
