Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submits that a mob of 500 members surrounded the Sarna-Sthal and raising anti- administration slogan and they have attempted to capture the Gair- Mazurwa land by using JCB Machine. In this background, he submits that 2025:JHHC:27642 --2-- A.B.A. No. 5260 of 2025 the FIR has been registered against 32 named persons and about 200 unknown persons. He submits that although the petitioners are named in the FIR but there is no overt act so far as the petitioners are concerned. He submits that the allegations are made that the persons who have approached the police station were armed with the weapons, however, weapons have not been recovered and co-accused have been granted anticipatory bail in ABA No.5215 of 2025. 4. Learned counsel appearing for the State opposes the prayer and submits that anti-administration slogan was made by the accused person before the police station and in view of that the anticipatory bail may kindly be rejected. 5. Considering that the petitioner is named in the FIR, however, no overt act has been done by petitioners and allegations are there against 200 persons to assemble on the spot. In the attending facts and circumstances of this case and co-accused persons have been granted anticipatory bail, I am inclined to provide anticipatory bail to petitioners. 6.
