Investigation is pending in this case. It is well settled that power to grant anticipatory bail is extra-ordinary and should be exercised sparingly. Considering the aforesaid facts, after hearing learned counsels for parties at length as well as the fact of active involvement of applicant in the alleged incident, grounds for anticipatory bail are not found to be sufficient and as such, this anticipatory bail application is liable to be rejected. ORDER Accordingly, anticipatory bail application is rejected." Upon due consideration to the fact that cross FIRs have been lodged by both sides; one person from the applicant’s side has died; seven persons from the complainant’s side have sustained injuries including two grievous injuries as per medical report; the incident is admitted by both parties; and the CCTV footage supports the occurrence, this Court finds that in view of the gravity of the allegations and the nature of the offence, no case for grant of anticipatory bail is made out. Accordingly, the anticipatory bail application is rejected. December 2, 2025 R.C. NABAIL No. 1851 of 2025 3 (Karunesh Singh Pawar,J.)
