¶16

Ranjan Kumar Ranjan and the informant of this case is stated to have been assaulted by the petitioner no. 3 by garasa .

¶17

The learned counsel for the petitioners has submitted that the petitioners are innocent, they have been falsely implicated in the present case and are having clean antecedent. It is further submitted that on account of village rivalry, the petitioners have been falsely implicated by the informant.

¶18

Per contra, the learned A.P.P. for the State has vehemently opposed the prayer for bail.

¶19

I have heard the learned counsel for the parties, perused the materials on record as also gone through the materials available in the case diary. It is apparent from the case dairy that the injuries sustained by the persons stated to have been assaulted by the petitioner no. 1 have been found to be simple in nature by the doctor. Moreover, the petitioners are also stated to be having clean antecedent, hence, this Court finds that benefit of doubt can be extended to the petitioners for the purposes of grant of anticipatory bail, however, subject to certain conditions.

¶20

Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case and considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioners, I deem it fit and proper to admit the
