Zaki Hashmi and 2 Others Vs. State of U.P. and Another, whereby this Court has granted anticipatory bail to other three co-accused persons, therefore, learned counsel has submitted that liberty of the present applicants may be protected till conclusion of trial. Learned AGA has opposed the aforesaid prayer and has requested that he may be granted some time to file counter affidavit.
Considering the aforesaid submissions of learned counsel for the parties, it is directed that in the event of arrest/ appearance before the learned court below, applicants, namely, Datadeen, Banshidhar, Omprakash, Dharnidhar, Satishchandra and Tarun Kumar shall be released on interim anticipatory bail on their furnishing a personal bond of Rs.50,000/- with two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the trial court concerned with the following conditions:-
1. that the applicants shall make themselves available for interrogation by a police officer as and when required;

5. that the applicants shall appear before the trial court on each date fixed unless personal presence is exempted; Let counter affidavit be filed by the opposite parties within a period of four weeks. List this case in the week commencing 3rd April, 2023."
3. Notably, the present applicants were initially granted anticipatory bail till conclusion of investigation and they had cooperated in the investigation, therefore, the charge-sheet has been filed. 4. In the present anticipatory bail application, learned Additional Government Advocate has prayed to file the counter affidavit but no counter affidavit has been filed. 5. It has been informed at the Bar that after filing of the charge-sheet, the petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. has been filed, wherein this Court granted an interim protection staying the trial.
