¶28

under Sections 191(2), 304(2), 324(2) of BNS Act, in Crime No.30 of 2026 on the file of the respondent police seek anticipatory bail.

¶29

The case of the prosecution is that the petitioners and others, in furtherance of their common intention, unlawfully assembled and damaged the house and compound wall of the defacto complainant. It is further alleged that the 11^th petitioner herein snatched 5 sovereigns of gold jewels from the defacto complainant. Hence, a case has been registered against the petitioners.

The learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners are innocent and they have been falsely implicated in this case and that they have not committed any offence as alleged by the prosecution. He further submitted that they are ready to abide by any conditions that may be imposed by this Court and that they are ready to cooperate with the investigation. Hence, he prayed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners

he opposed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

¶36

Heard both sides and perused the materials available on record.

¶37

Considering the representations made on either side, considering the
