9. He further submits, in the alleged incident, as per prosecution, apart from the deceased three persons were also sustained injuries including informant and from their statements recorded during investigation, which have been annexed along with instant bail application, it reflects, they attributed the role of causing injury to deceased to co-accused Amar Singh. He further submits, the injuries sustained by all the three injured appeared to be simple in nature. 10. He further submits, applicants are not having any criminal history and in the present matter they are in jail since 03.10.2024. 11. Per contra, learned AGA as well as learned counsel for the informant opposed the prayer for bail but could not dispute the argument on facts advanced by learned counsel for the applicants. 12. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record of the case. 13. However, as per allegation due to the assault made by the applicants and others one person lost his life and three persons sustained injuries but from the statements of injured witnesses, it reflects, co-accused Amar Singh caused head injury on the head of the deceased. Further, medical reports of the injured suggest that they sustained only simple injuries. 14.
