Petitioners are innocent and have falsely been implicated in this case.

Case No. 650 of 2023 for offence punishable under Sections 307 and other allied sections against the informant’s side and just to save the skin from that F.I.R., the informant has filed the present false case.

It has further been stated in paragraph no.3 of the bail petition that the petitioners have one criminal antecedent.

However, learned APP for the State and learned counsel for the informant vehemently oppose the prayer of the Petitioners for bail submitting that as per the F.I.R., it is a case of not only outraging modesty, but it is attempt to rape and cognizance under Section 354(B) IPC has been taken against the petitioners. He further submits that petitioners have criminal antecedents.

However, considering the case and counter case, this petition is allowed, directing the petitioners, above-named, to be enlarged on bail, in the event of their arrest or surrender
