The medical examination reports of the injured have been made available by learned counsel for the State along with the case diary and statements of the witnesses recorded during investigation. From the reports, it is made to appear that the injured received abrasions, lacerations etc. which are simple in nature. It is claimed that the petitioners have lodged a counter FIR for the alleged incident. On being asked, it is informed to the Court that petitioner Nos.1 and 4 are having a criminal case registered for an offence under Section 498-A IPC. Recorded the objection of the State. In absence of any past antecedent of similar nature and considering the circumstances under which the alleged incident said to have taken place, this Court though not inclined to grant any of them pre-arrest bail but is of the view that the petitioners should be directed to surrender before the learned court below for being released with suitable conditions imposed. 4. In the result, the ABLAPL is disposed of with the direction as aforesaid. In the event, the petitioners appear before the court of learned J.M.F.C., Rasgovindpur within a fortnight from today, it is directed that they shall be released on bail in connection with C.T Case No.35 of 2025 corresponding to Rasgovindpur P.S Case No.38 of 2025 on furnishing a bail bond of Rs.30,000/-(rupees thirty thousand) each with one solvent surety for the like amount each with such other conditions imposed by the court concerned as deemed just and proper and in the facts and circumstances of the case besides p. 3 the following, such as, they shall furnish an undertaking not to pick up any quarrel with the informant, while on bail and all of them shall cooperate the I.O. in the investigation, till the same is concluded. 5.
