Counsel for the applicants submits that the applicants have been falsely implicated in the present case. As per the first information report, twelve named accused including the applicants and twenty unknown persons are alleged to have assaulted the informant- Shivam Rai, his father-Bharat Rai, his uncle Milan and his cousin- Shivam. As per the case diary the medical reports of Shivam Rai and Bharat Rai are available. As per the medical report of Bharat Rai, he received seven injuries. Injury nos.1, 3, 4, 5 and 6 were referred for x-ray examination. As per the supplementary medical report, injury no.1 on the head is found grievous in nature, whereas other injuries were found simple in nature. The other injured Shivam Rai received two injuries. The said injuries were simple in nature. A vague and general role has been assigned to the applicants. The applicants have not been nominated as the principal offender who caused injuries to the two injured. At this stage, there is no credible evidence to link the applicants with the offence. After investigation, final report in favour of the applicants was recommended by the Investigating Officer. Thereafter, by order of the Deputy Inspector General of Police, Jhansi Region, Jhansi dated 13.03.2025 the investigation has been transferred to another Investigating Officer of District Jalaun. Investigation is pending. Criminal history of applicant no.1 has been explained in paragraph no.18 of the bail application and paragraph no.2 of second supplementary affidavit. The applicant no.2 has no criminal antecedents. The applicants have apprehension of their arrest in the above mentioned case. In case the applicants are granted anticipatory bail, they will not misuse the said liberty. 4. Learned A.G.A. and counsel for the informant have opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail but could not satisfactorily dispute the aforesaid submissions from the record. 5. Counsel for the applicants 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 applicants and the fact that a vague and general role has been assigned to the applicants; the applicants have not been nominated as the principal offender who caused injuries to the two injured; at this stage, there is no substantive evidence to link the applicants with the offence; without commenting on merits of the case, I am of the opinion that the applicants are entitled to be enlarged on anticipatory bail till the submission of police report. 7. In the event of arrest, the applicants- Rakesh Rai and Sahil Thakur @ Sahil Parihar be released on anticipatory bail in the aforesaid case crime till the submission of police report, if any, under Section 193(3) B.N.S.S., 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 applicants shall make themselves available for interrogation by a police officer as and when required; (ii) The applicants 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 applicants shall not leave India without the previous permission of the Court and if they have passports, the same shall be deposited by them, before the S.S.P./S.P. concerned. 8.
