nephew.

¶22

The learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners are innocent, they have been falsely implicated in the present case and they are having a clean antecedent. The learned counsel for the petitioners has further submitted that though the injury report has been submitted in the present case, however, the Doctor has not opined about the injuries, nonetheless, according to the estimation of the petitioners, the injuries, sustained by the injured persons, are not serious in nature.

¶23

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

¶24

Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioners, taking into the materials available on record as also considering the fact that the petitioners are having a clean antecedent and the Doctor has not opined yet about the nature of the injuries, apart from the fact that the informant has not attributed any motive behind commission of the alleged occurrence, I deem it fit and proper to admit the petitioners to the privilege of anticipatory bail.

¶25

Accordingly, the petitioners are directed to be enlarged on anticipatory bail, in the event of their arrest or
