From the record, it is evident that the applicants have approached this Court straightway without getting their anticipatory bail rejected from the court below.

¶8

Learned counsel for the applicants has drawn attention of the Court to Clause-7 of Section 438 Cr.P.C. (U.P. Act No.4 of 2021), which read thus :

¶9

" (7) If an application under this section has been made by any person to the High Court, no application by the same person shall be entertained by the Court of Session. "

persons got injured. The informant has received eight injuries and one Pravin Singh also sustained the same number of injuries. In addition to above, three more persons sustained lesser number of injuries. Learned counsel for the applicant submitted that from his side, some persons also got injured. There was free fight in the light of civil dispute of land between the two real brothers. Under the circumstances, it is impossible to gather as to which group is aggressor over whom?

Taking into account the role attributed to the applicants in commission of offence, the Court feels that in order to have indepth probe into the matter, the Investigating Officer of the case should be given fullest liberty to choose its own course for the transparent investigation.

¶14

Thus, giving a panoramic view of the matter, the Court is not inclined to exercise its powers in favour of the applicants, and thus the present anticipatory bail application is hereby rejected .
