NC: 2025:KHC-K:2639 CRL.P No. 200668 of 2025
against the petitioners herein and others based on the first information dated 08.03.2025, received from Abdul Nabisab, who is one of the injured victim in the present case. During the course of investigation of the case, the petitioners herein, who are arrayed as accused Nos.1 and 2 in the FIR were arrested 09.03.2025 and subsequently remanded to judicial custody. Their bail application filed before the jurisdictional Sessions Court in Criminal Miscellaneous No.5132/2025 was rejected. Therefore, they are before this Court.
4. Perusal of the material on record would go to show that there is civil dispute between the parties and it is in this background, in the alleged incident that had taken place on 08.03.2025, the parties had fought against each other and the petitioners allegedly had assaulted the first informant and others. Undisputedly, the petitioners have not used any weapons to assault the first informant and other victims in the present case. The allegation is that they had assaulted the first informant and others with

their hands and legs. Perusal of the record would go to show that the first informant and other victims have not suffered any grievous injuries in the incident in question. The petitioners do not have any criminal antecedents and they are in custody from 09.03.2025. Major portion of investigation is already completed. Considering the aforesaid aspects, I am of the opinion that the prayer made by the petitioners who are agriculturist by avocation for grant of regular bail needs to be answered affirmatively. Accordingly, following order is passed:
ORDER The petition is allowed. The petitioners are directed to be enlarged on bail in Crime No.34/2025, registered by the Balaganur Police, Dist: Raichur for the offences punishable under Sections 351(2), 352, 329(4) 115(2), 74, 109, 49 read with Section 3(5) of the BNS, 2023, pending before the III Additional District and Sessions Judge, Raichur, sitting at Sindhanur, subject to the following conditions:
