The Petitioners are seeking pre-arrest bail in connection with G.R. Case No.467 of 2025 pending on the file of learned J.M.F.C., Parjang arising out of Parjang P.S. Case No.383 of 2025 for commission of offences punishable under Sections 126(2)/ 296/ 115(2)/118(2)/351(2)/3(5) of BNS. 3. At the outset, learned counsel for the Petitioner does not want to press this bail application in respect of Petitioner No.1. Accordingly, the ABLAPL is disposed of in respect of Petitioner No.1. Learned counsel for the Petitioners now confines to the prayer for pre-arrest in respect of Petitioner Nos.2 to 4 only. p. 2 4. Learned counsel for the Petitioner Nos.2 to 4 on instruction submits that while forwarding Ranjit Naik-Petitioner No.1, inter alia, the offence under Section 109 of BNS has been added. 5. Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer for pre-arrest bail. 6. Taking into account the nature of allegation, this Court is not inclined to entertain this application.
