It was also alleged that the intoxicated individuals became aggressive and damaged certain public property.

On receipt of the FIR, the police registered Nacho P.S. Case No. 05/2025 under the aforementioned sections. 5. Mr. Deka, learned counsel for the applicant, submits that the accused applicant is nowhere involved in the alleged incident as contended in the FIR. He submits that the accused applicant is, in fact, the sister of the co-accused, namely Getna Mra, and that Getna Mra went to visit her residence by crossing the gate where the GREF officials were present. He submits that while crossing the gate, the GREF officials questioned him about his visit, and at that time some altercation occurred between him and the GREF officials present. When the accused applicant came to know about the incident, she also went there and joined him. While the altercation was going on, there was some hue and cry, and some local people gathered there. He further submits that the accused Page No.# 3/4 applicant was not aware as to who had pelted stones or attempted to damage public property.

He further submits that, in fact, the brother of the accused applicant was badly beaten up by the GREF officials and in that connection, an FIR was filed by the father of the accused applicant before the Limeking Police Station on 19.12.2025. 6. In view of the aforesaid, he submits that the accused applicant is totally unaware of any damage to public property and that she visited the place only because her brother was involved in the altercation. Learned counsel further submits that the accused applicant, being the mother of a six-month-old child, is willing to cooperate with the investigation in the matter and, therefore, she should be allowed to go on pre-arrest bail at this stage. 7. Mr. T. Ete, learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State, on the other hand, submits that the Case Diary is necessary for consideration of the pre- arrest bail. 8. Taking into account the materials brought before this Court, as well as the submissions made by the respective parties, this Court is of the considered opinion that this is a case wherein anticipatory bail should be granted to the accused applicant at this stage. 9. Accordingly, it is directed that, in the event of arrest of the accused applicant, namely Smti Yacha Mra, by the investigating officer in connection with Nacho P.S. Case No. 05/2025, the applicant shall be released on furnishing Page No.# 4/4 a bail bond of Rs. 20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand) with one surety of the like amount to the satisfaction of the arresting authority, subject to the following conditions: i.
