The prosecution's case, in brief, is that from the impugned order, states that on the date of the incident, i.e., 22/12/2024, at around 10:30 PM, one of the co-accused, Rishabh Kesherwani, went to the complainant’s house and started using filthy language from outside. Hearing this, the complainant came out of his house, at that point of time the co-accused made a phone call to the present applicant and another co-accused, Peeyush Yadaw. Subsequently, all of them began assaulting the complainant. Out of fear, the complainant ran back into his house. The applicant, with the assistance of the other co-accused, broke the door of the complainant’s house and assaulted him again. The incident was reported to Police Station Shivrinarayan, where Crime No. 527/2024 was registered against the present applicant and the other co-accused persons under Sections 296, 351(2), 115(2), 333, 324(2), and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. 3.

He submits that the other co-accused namely Peeyush Yadaw has already been granted anticipatory bail by this Hon’ble Court in MCRCA No. 51 of 2025 vide order dated 13.01.2025. Therefore, he submits that the present 3 applicant is also entitled to be released on anticipatory bail on the ground of parity. 4. On the other hand, learned State counsel, appearing for the non-applicant/State, opposes the bail application of the present applicant. 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary. 6. Considering the facts & circumstances of the case that in the present case, the co-accused co-accused namely Peeyush Yadaw has already been granted anticipatory bail by this Hon’ble Court in MCRCA No. 51 of 2025 vide order dated 13.01.2025.
