Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State.

Deepu Kumar hit his leg with a stone, the petitioner beat him with a stick, and Bittu Kumar and Mangal Kumar pushed him to the ground and assaulted him with fists and slaps.

¶16

Learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has not committed any offence in the manner alleged and he has falsely been implicated in the present case due to village politics. The prosecution story is fully concocted and fabricated. There is delay of 5 days in lodging the FIR. Injury report of the informant suggests that although the informant has received three injuries but out of three injuries, Injury Nos. 1 and 3 are simple in nature and Injury No. 2 is inflicted upon the hand of the informant and the same is not on the vital part of the body of the informant. He next submits that similarly situated co-accused person namely Deepu Kumar has been granted anticipatory bail by a Co-ordinate Bench of this Court in Cr. Misc. No. 5420 of 2025.

¶17

Having regard to the submissions made on behalf of the parties and taking into consideration the fact that petitioner is having no criminal antecedent, injuries caused to the informant are simple in nature, injury no. 2 is not on the vital part of the body of the informant and similarly situated coaccused person has been granted anticipatory bail by a Coordinate Bench of this Court, I am inclined to grant the petitioner privilege of anticipatory bail.

¶18

This application is, accordingly, allowed.

¶19
