As per the medical report of seven injured, the injuries sustained by them were simple in nature. Injured Dhurendra received a grievous injury on his head. A vague and general role has been assigned to the applicant. The applicant has not been nominated as the principal offender who caused the grievous injury on the head of the injured Dhurendra. It is next contended that identically placed co-accused Chote Lal and Bittu have been granted interim protection by this Court vide order dated 12.3.2025 passed in Criminal Misc. Writ Petition No.4727 of 2025 (Chote Lal and 2 others vs. State of U.P. and 3 others). At this stage, there is no credible evidence to link the applicant with the offence. The applicant has no criminal antecedents. It is next submitted that the investigation is going on and the applicant has apprehension of his arrest in the above mentioned case. 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, considering the nature of accusations, antecedents of the applicant and the fact that a vague and general role has been assigned to the applicant; the applicant has not been nominated as the principal offender who caused the grievous injury on the head of the injured Dhurendra; identically placed co-accused Chote Lal and Bittu have been granted interim protection by this Court; at this stage, there is no substantive evidence to link the applicant with the offence, 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.
