Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the present case is an offshoot of a case got registered by the father of the applicant no. 1 against the prosecution side under Sections-504, 323 and 307 IPC with regard to an incident alleged to have taken place on 19.10.2021 in which applicant no. 1 sustained grievous injuries.

Anticipatory Bail Application No. 10356 of 2024, vide order dated 26.11.2024. The applicant has no criminal antecedents. Hence, the applicant is entitled for anticipatory bail. Learned A.G.A. opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail but could not satisfactorily dispute the aforesaid submissions from the record. Having regard to the submissions made by learned counsel for the applicants, considering the nature of accusations and antecedents of the applicants, no custodial interrogation is required, without commenting on merits of the case, I am of the opinion that the applicants are entitled to be enlarged on anticipatory bail. In the event of arrest, the applicant Rohit Mittal, involved in the aforesaid case crime be released on anticipatory bail during pendency of trial, on furnishing a personal bond of Rs. 50,000/- with two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned with the following conditions: (i) the applicant shall make himself available on each and every date fixed in the matter by the court concerned; (ii) the applicant shall not directly or indirectly, make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing such facts to the Court; (iii) the applicant shall not leave India without the previous permission of the Court and if he has passport, the same shall be deposited by him before the concerned court.
