At that time, seven persons arrived at the spot, restrained the informant and other members, and assaulted them. 4] The learned counsel for applicant submits that the applicant was merely travelling in the car and was not involved in any altercation. No overt act is attributed to the applicant. The applicant is also scheduled to marry soon. It is further submitted that the incident is over- exaggerated. 5] The learned APP opposed the application, submitting that the applicant and the co- accused are involved in the alleged offence, which is of a serious nature. It is also stated that the tippers and cars used in the commission of the crime are yet to be seized. 6] Considering that there is no overt act attributed to the applicant and the altercation is between the other occupants of car with the officials, I deem it appropriate to grant interim relief. 3 239.25ABA 4] The applicants in Anticipatory Bail Application No.239 of 2025 has granted interim protection by order dated 20.02.2025 considering the order dated 31.01.2025 passed in ABA No.171/2025 as the role of the applicants in ABA No.239/2025 is identical to the role of the applicant in ABA No.171/2025. 5] The learned counsel for the applicants submits that in terms of interim orders, the applicants have attended the concerned police station and have co-operated with the investigation. 6] Considering the same, the interim orders dated 31.01.2025 and 20.02.2025 stand confirmed in the following terms : i] The applicants shall attend the concerned police station as and when required by the investigating officer. ii] The applicants shall not tamper with the evidence of the prosecution in any manner.
