Crl.OP.No.35030 of 2025

¶15

The prosecution case is that the petitioner joining hands with other

¶16

accused entered in to house of the defacto complainant and attacked them and also taken away various gold jewels and other articles, which led to the registration of an FIR. Hence, the present case.

¶17

The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is ranked as A5 and he has been falsely implicated in this case and he is ready to cooperate with the investigation and hence prays to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

¶18

The learned Government Advocate (Crl. Side) appearing for the respondent police reiterated the prosecution case and submitted that the totally five accused were involved in this case and A1 and A4 were already arrested and properties also recovered and there is no previous case as against the petitioner and investigation is pending. Hence, he vehemently opposed the grant of anticipatory bail.

¶19

Heard both sides and perused the materials available on record.

¶20

Considering the fact that properties recovered, no previous cases reported as against the petitioner and investigation is pending, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner, subject to certain conditions:
