According to the prosecution, on the date of incident, which took place on 16^th October 2025, the present Applicants along with other coaccused under the influence of liquor came to the house of the first informant and threatened to kill him. It is alleged that they abused and assaulted the first informant by fist and kick blows. There are allegations of causing damage to the household articles of the first informant.

¶19

I have heard respective Learned Counsel for the Applicants and Learned APP for the Respondent-State.

¶20

Learned Counsel for the Applicants submit that with some ulterior motive the false allegations are made against the Applicants. It is submitted that nothing is to be recovered from the Applicants and therefore there is no need of custodial interrogation.

¶21

On the other hand, Learned APP for the Respondent-State submits that specific overt act is attributed to the present Applicants in the FIR. It is submitted that there are criminal antecedents against the present Applicants. It is submitted that considering the nature of crime, the Applicants may not be released on anticipatory bail.

¶22

I have perused the FIR. Prima-facie, the allegations appears to be exaggerated. Considering the overall facts and circumstances of the case, I am inclined to release the Applicants on anticipatory bail on certain conditions. Hence, the following order:-
