To save his life, he was chased and assaulted. It is also alleged that when mother of complainant came there for rescue, she was also abused and beaten brutally.
5. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is innocent and has no criminal history. In the prosecution case, general role of causing injury by lathi danda and sharp edged weapon has been assigned to all the accused including the applicant. In the statement of three injured persons, no specific role has been assigned to the applicant or any of the co-accused.

6. It is further submitted that there is no possibility of the applicant of fleeing away after being released from jail or tampering with the witnesses. In case the applicant is enlarged on bail, he shall not misuse the liberty of bail.
7. Learned A.G.A. as well as learned counsel for complainant have opposed the prayer for bail.
Learned counsel for the complainant has submitted that injured Rajesh Pandey has sustained eight injuries. Out of eight injuries, 1,2,3 and 8 were kept in observation and in the CT Scan report the injured has sustained fracture of left high parietal bone with fracture fragment with hemorrhagic contusions with hypodesity in left parietal region which are grievous in nature. The surgery was conducted and the injured remained admitted for ten days in KGMU. 8. I have considered the submission and perused the record. 9. On due consideration to the fact that the applicant has no criminal history, general role of causing injury has been assigned to all the accused persons, including the applicant and no specific role has been assigned to the applicant and also the fact that the applicant is in jail since 04.11.2025 and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I find it to be a fit case for enlarging the applicant on bail. 10 Accordingly, the bail application is allowed. 11. Let the applicant Santosh Pandey involved in aforesaid case crime number be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond and two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned with the following conditions which are being imposed in the interest of justice:- (i) The applicant will not tamper with the evidence during the trial.

In case of default of this condition, it shall be open for the trial court to treat it as abuse of liberty of bail and pass orders in accordance with law. (v) The applicant shall remain present before the trial court on each date fixed, either personally or through his counsel.
