The allegation against the petitioners is that on 06.12.2025 at about 3.15 P.M., the complainant lodged written report at the P.S. alleging that on 03.12.2025 at about 7 P.M., the petitioners along with others forcefully entered into her house, assaulted her, pushed and pulled her, abused in filthy language and threatened with dire consequences. Hence, the case. 5. Learned counsel for the petitioners brought to the notice of this Court that the co-accused Saroj Kumar Sahoo @ Saroj Ku. Sahoo & another have already been granted anticipatory bail by the Coordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 12.01.2026 in ABLAPL No.15052 of 2025. Hence, he seeks parity with the co-accused persons. 6. Regard being had to the nature of allegation against the petitioners and the fact that the co-accused persons have already been granted anticipatory bail by the Coordinate Bench of this Court in ABLAPL No.15052 vide order dated 12.01.2026, I am inclined to p. 3 grant the petitioners anticipatory bail. Accordingly, it is directed that, in the event, the petitioners are arrested, they shall be released by the Arresting Officer, subject to the verification of the criminal antecedents of similar nature. The release of the petitioners shall also be subject to the conditions that they shall cooperate with the investigation and shall appear before the I.O. as and when their presence is required for the purpose of investigation; they shall not indulge in similar criminal offences while on bail; they shall appear before the trial Court on each and every date of posting of the case, if not presented by sufficient cause. Violation of any of the conditions shall entail cancellation of bail. 7. The ABLAPL is, accordingly, disposed of. (S.S.
