The petitioners have moved before this Court for grant of privilege of anticipatory bail from apprehending their arrest in connection with Piparwar P.S. Case No. 51 of 2019 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 143, 145, 147, 149, 353, 427, 337, 447, 449, 504 and 506 of the Indian Penal Code. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners are innocent and have not committed any offence at all as alleged in the FIR. They are falsely implicated in this case, only on the basis of suspicion. It is further submitted that there has been no specific allegation made against the petitioners except that they along with other persons have deterred the public servant from discharging of their duty. Several Co-accused persons have been granted bail by the Co-ordinate Bench of this Court. Petitioners have no criminal antecedents (mentioned in the impugned order). As such, they may be extended the privilege of anticipatory bail. 4. Learned A.P.P. opposed the prayer of the petitioners for grant of bail. 5. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of this case, I am inclined to extend privilege of anticipatory bail to these petitioners. Accordingly, the petitioners are directed to surrender in the Court below within a period of four weeks from today and in the event of their arrest or surrendering, they will be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of ( 2025:JHHC:14545 ) Page-2 Rs. 20,000/- (Rs.

It is made clear that petitioners shall co-operate with the investigation / trial. If the petitioners will not co-operate with the investigation / trial, the State would be at liberty to take appropriate action. (Deepak Roshan, J.) Simran-Aditi/
