Singh whereafter the FIR,

¶21

It is the case of the petitioners that earlier their bail application was rejected on 07.03.2024 in Cr. Misc. No. 82775 of 2023 and have remained in custody since 14.03.2024 (para12 of the petition). Further, if granted bail, they shall be appearing in the trial diligently. The last contention is that irrespective of the outcome of the present case and or accepting the allegation, they intends to pay 15,000/- each totalling Rs.30,000/- (Thirty thousand) to the informant to be paid through the demand draft issued by the local State Bank of India branch in favour of the informant and submit before the concerned Court.

¶22

Learned APP opposes the prayer submitting that though the petitioner no.2 has no criminal antecedent while petitioner no.1 has two criminal antecedents.

¶23

Considering the aforesaid facts and the fact that though the assault made by the petitioners and the injuries on the victim have been found to be grievous, considering that they are in custody since 14.03.2024 and have undertaken that they will be diligently appearing in the trial, this Court is inclined to extend them the privilege of bail subject to payment of Rs.15,000/- each (Total Rs. 30,000/-) through demand draft
