1. Heard learned counsel for the applicants as well as learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the material placed on record. 2. The present application has been filed with the prayer to grant anticipatory bail to the applicants in Case Crime No.12 of 2025, under sections 115(2), 352, 351(2), 119(1) and 333 B.N.S., P.S. Saraimamrej, District Prayagraj. 3. Counsel for the applicants submits that the applicants have been falsely implicated in the instant case. As per the allegations in the first information report, the applicants along with another accused are alleged to have assaulted the informant. As per the medical report, the injuries sustained by the injured were found simple in nature. Vague and general role has been assigned to the applicants. At this stage, there is no credible evidence to link the applicants with the offence. The applicants have no criminal antecedents. It is next submitted that the investigation is going on and the applicants have apprehension of their arrest in the above mentioned case. 4. Learned A.G.A. for the State opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail but could not satisfactorily dispute the aforesaid submissions from the record. 5. Learned counsel for the applicants further submits that the application for grant of anticipatory bail be confined only till the submission of police report. 6. Having regard to the submissions made by learned counsel for the applicants, considering the nature of accusations and antecedents of the applicants, the fact that vague and general role has been assigned to the applicants, as per the medical report, the injuries sustained by the injured were found simple in nature, at this stage, there is no substantive evidence to link the applicants with the offence, without commenting on merits of the case, I am
of the opinion that the applicants are entitled to be enlarged on anticipatory bail till the submission of police report. 7.
7. In the event of arrest, the applicants Aashik and Ashraf be released on anticipatory bail in the aforesaid case crime till the submission of police report, if any, under section 193 (3) B.N.S., on furnishing a personal bond of Rs. 50,000/- with two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Station House Officer of the police station concerned with the following conditions:- (i) The applicants shall make himself available for interrogation by a police officer as and when required; (ii) The applicants shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the
