persons after the informant was shot by other co-accused persons.
The main submissions advanced by the learned counsel Mr. Sarvan Kumar for the petitioners are that the allegation of firing is against co-accused persons namely Murari Kumar and Rupesh Kumar and the allegation made against the petitioners in the FIR is general and omnibus and one coaccused namely Surendra Singh has been granted bail by a coordinate Bench of this Court vide order passed in Cr. Misc. No. 36107 of 2022 and the petitioners have fair and clean antecedent and have been languishing in jail since 30.06.2022.
Learned APP Mr. Raj Ballabh Singh appearing for the State and learned counsel for the informant have vehemently opposed the bail prayer of the petitioners and submitted that the petitioners and two co-accused persons kept assaulting the informant till he became unconscious and against the petitioners there is also a serious allegation.
Heard both the sides and perused the FIR. As per the allegation made in the FIR two co-accused persons namely Murari Kumar and Rupesh Kumar fired at the informant and the injury report of the informant filed as Annexure-2 shows only two injuries on his person which have been opined to be simple

in nature and caused by fire-arms and both the injuries were attributed against the co-accused persons but the allegation made against the petitioners is of assaulting the informant which does not get corroboration from the said injury report and moreover the informant’s injuries have been opined to be simple in nature and one co-accused mentioned above has been granted bail by a co-ordinate Bench of this Court vide order passed in above-mentioned Cr. Misc. Case. In the light of these facts a lenient approach can be taken in respect of the petitioners’ prayer, let the petitioners be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/-(Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the concerned Court in connection with Ballia P.S. Case No. 38 of 2022.
