petitioner no.1.

¶17

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submitted that petitioners have been made accused on the basis of incorrect accusation rather the sister-in-law of petitioners had lodged an FIR against the family members of the informant and her husband, in which her husband had sustained injuries. Learned counsel further submitted that on the basis of a concocted story, a false accusation has been levelled against the petitioner no.1 that he tried to molest the minor daughter of the informant. Learned counsel further submitted that no case under the POCSO Act has been lodged against the petitioners. Petitioner no.1 was in relationship with the daughter of the informant. Petitioner no.1 is aged about 21 years. The injuries sustained by the injured is simple in nature.

Learned APP for the State has vehemently opposed the prayer for grant of pre-arrest bail to the petitioners.

Having considered the rival submissions made on behalf of the parties, as well as, considering the allegation made in the FIR and the fact that the petitioner no.1 had attempted to do wrong with the minor daughter of the informant and Petitioner no.1 along with other co-accused persons has also assaulted the informant and his family members.

The learned district court is directed to consider the regular bail application of the petitioner no.1 on the same day and pass necessary order in accordance with law on the basis of the evidences collected in course of the investigation.
