The prosecution story in brief is that the complainant namely Ranjit Kaur appeared before P.S. on 03.10.2025 and stated that the present applicant who is the son-in-law had assaulted his son namely Sukhdev Singh with hand fist and some article by which the Sukhdev Singh has received injury on her written complaint the police has lodged FIR for the offence committed under 115(2), 118(1), 296, 351(3) of B.N.S. 2023. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in this case. He further submits that the applicant is a relative of the complainant and it is an admitted fact that on 02.10.2025, during the Dussehra festival, the applicant and the victim (brother-in-law) consumed liquor, and due to a family dispute, the incident occurred; that there was no intention on the part of the applicant to cause harm to the victim, and during a sudden quarrel in the heat of the moment, the applicant merely pushed the victim, causing him to fall and sustain a minor injury on his thigh, without the use of any weapon, yet the police have falsely implicated him; that the victim was in a conscious condition and was discharged from the hospital after primary treatment; that among the offences alleged under Sections 115(2), 118(1), 296, and 351(3) of the B.N.S., 2023, only Section 118(1) is non-bailable while the others are bailable in nature; that the complainant and the victim have executed an affidavit stating that they have no objection to the grant of bail to the applicant as he is the real son-in-law of the family and his arrest may disturb the cordial relationship between the families, and a copy of the no-objection affidavit is filed herewith as Annexure A/3; that the applicant is a permanent resident of the address mentioned in the 3 cause title with no likelihood of absconding or tampering with prosecution witnesses and that the applicant is ready to furnish adequate surety and undertakes to abide by all conditions that may be imposed by this Hon’ble Court while granting bail. 4. On the other hand, the learned State counsel opposes the anticipatory bail application. 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary. 6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the submissions of the learned counsel for the parties, the nature of the dispute, and the fact that the matter has already been settled between the parties and complainant has raised no objection to the grant of anticipatory bail to the applicant, therefore, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the present applicant. 7. Accordingly, the instant MCRCA is allowed and it is directed that in the event of arrest of the applicants – Sukhvinder Singh, on executing a personal bond and one local surety in the like sum to the satisfaction of the arresting Officer, he shall be released on bail on the following conditions:- (a) He 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 him from disclosing such fact to the Court.
