have been filed by the petitioners who have been arrested in

[CRLMB-2018/2023]

(2 of 3)

connection with FIR No.12/2023 registered at Police Station Kushalgarh, District Banswara, for offences under Sections 143, 385, 436, 452, 427, 504 and 506 IPC.

¶28

Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the allegation against petitioners is that they attacked house of the complainant alongwith co-accused persons demanding money as compensation ( Mautana ) against the death of one Hardar. Learned counsel submitted that as per the FIR, the petitioners and coaccused persons after looting the house of the complainant, set various articles on fire. Learned counsel submitted that in the FIR, omnibus allegations have been levelled against the present petitioners. The specific allegation of attacking the complainant’s family members has been levelled against co-accused Meh Ji. Learned counsel submitted that the petitioners are behind the bars since January 2023; the charge-sheet against them has already been filed before the competent criminal court by the investigating agency; trial is likely to take sufficiently long time and thus, the petitioners deserve indulgence of bail in the present case.

¶29

Learned Public Prosecutor opposed the bail applications. However, he was neither in a position to indicate any specific allegation against present petitioners nor was he ale to refute the fact that specific allegations have been levelled against one Meh Ji in the FIR.

¶30

Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned Public Prosecutor. Perused the material available on record.
