Heard counsel for the applicant as well as learned A.G.A. for the State and Sri Ashok Kumar Rai, counsel for the informant. Perused the material placed on record.

¶8

The present application has been filed with the prayer to grant anticipatory bail to the applicant in Case Crime No.124 of 2025, under sections 191(2), 109(1), 352, 115(2), 310(2), 351(3), 191(3), 117(2), 118(1) B.N.S., P.S. Jagdishpura, District Agra.

¶9

Counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the instant case. As per the allegations in the first information report the applicant along with seven accused and 5 to 6 unknown persons are alleged to have assaulted the informant Nitin Rajpoot and two others namely Ajay Singhal and Yogesh Agarwal. As per the medical report, Nitin Rajpoot received injuries, which were found simple in nature. Whereas the other two injured received injuries on non-vital part of the body. It is contended that although the injuries sustained by two injured Ajay Singhal and Yogesh Agarwal were grievous in nature but not dangerous to life. The nature of injuries shows that there was no intent to murder. Further, there are vague and general allegations against the applicant. The applicant has no criminal antecedents. It is next submitted that the investigation is going on and the applicant has apprehension of his arrest in the above mentioned case.

¶10

Learned A.G.A. for the State opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail but could not satisfactorily dispute the aforesaid submissions from the record.

¶11

Learned counsel for the applicant further submits that the application for grant of anticipatory bail be confined only till the submission of police report.

¶12

Having regard to the submissions made by learned counsel for the applicant, considering the nature of accusations and antecedents of the applicant, the fact that as per the medical report, the informant Nitin Rajpoot received injuries, which were

¶13

found simple in nature; whereas the other two injured received injuries on non-vital part of the body, the fact that the injuries sustained by two injured Ajay Singhal and Yogesh Agarwal were although grievous in nature but not dangerous to life, the fact that there are vague and general allegations against the applicant, at this stage there is no substantive evidence to link the applicant with the offence, without commenting on merits of the case, I am of the opinion that the applicant is entitled to be enlarged on anticipatory bail till the submission of police report.

¶14

In the event of arrest, the applicant Sameer Gupta be released on anticipatory bail in the aforesaid case crime till the submission of police report, if any, under section 193 (3) B.N.S., on furnishing a personal bond of Rs. 50,000/- with two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Station House Officer of the police station concerned with the following conditions:-
