4. It could be gathered from the records, the specific overt-acts alleged against these petitioners in the complaint that accused No.2 has assaulted with a stick on the body of the injured and accused No.3 assaulted the injured by hands. It is stated in the complaint that accused No.1 assaulted on the head of the injured with the stick, due to the same, he sustained injuries on his head. Nevertheless, the injured is already discharged from hospital on 12.04.2025. In such circumstances, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, it is suffice to hold that the further incarceration of the petitioners does not call for. Accordingly, the petition deserves to be allowed.
Hence, the following:
ORDER The petition filed under Section 483 of BNSS 2023, is allowed. Consequently, the petitioners/accused Nos.2 and 3 shall be released on bail in connection with Crime No.56/2025 pending on the file of the Court of District and Sessions Judge, Raichur, for the offences punishable under Sections 352, 115(2), 118(1), 54, 109, 351(2), 351(3), 3(5)
