Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the present case. In the first information report, fourteen persons are nominated. As per the allegations in the first information report, two groups were fighting among themselves. In the alleged incident, simple injuries have been sustained by both sides. A vague and general role have been assigned to the applicant. The applicant has not been nominated as the principal offender who caused the injuries to the injured. No Police personnel has received any injury. It is next contended that identically placed co-accused, Sajid, Majid, Sarafat, Wajid Ali and Rakib have been granted anticipatory bail by this Court till submission of Police report vide orders dated 14.06.2024 and 28.11.2024 passed in Criminal Misc.

At this stage, there is no credible evidence to link the applicant with the offence. The applicant has no criminal antecedents. The investigation is still pending. It is next submitted that the applicant has apprehension of his arrest and in case, the applicant is granted anticipatory bail, he will not misuse the said liberty. 4. Learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail but could not satisfactorily dispute the aforesaid submissions from the record. 5. Counsel for the applicant 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 counsel for the applicant, considering the nature of accusations, antecedents of the applicant and the fact that in the alleged incident, simple injuries have been sustained by both sides, the fact that a vague and general role have been assigned to the applicant, the fact that the applicant has not been nominated as the principal offender who caused the injuries to the injured, the fact that no Police personnel has received any injury, the fact that identically placed co-accused, Sajid, Majid, Sarafat, Wajid Ali and Rakib have been granted anticipatory bail by this Court, at this stage, there is no substantive evidence against the applicant, without commenting on merits of the case, I am of the opinion that the applicant is entitled to be enlarged on anticipatory bail till the submission of police report. 7. In the event of arrest, the applicant- Khalid be released on anticipatory bail in the aforesaid case crime till the submission of police report, if any, under Section 173 (2) Cr.P.C., 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 applicant shall make himself available for interrogation by a police officer as and when required; (ii) The applicant shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police officer; (iii) The applicant shall not leave India without the previous permission of the Court and if he has passport, the same shall be deposited by him before the Police Commissioner concerned. 8.
