The applicants have no criminal antecedents. 5.Learned counsel for the informant and Learned AGA has opposed the prayer for bail and has contended that applicants have been specifically named in the FIR. Six persons have received injuries, out of whom Nirmala has received a fracture in the fore-arm, which is an injury grievous in nature.

Learned counsel for the informant and Learned AGA could not dispute the fact that the applicants have no criminal history. 7. I have considered the submissions made by the Learned counsels for the parties. 8. The applicants Sharda Gupta and Mohan Gupta are stated to be senior citizens. No specific role has been given to the applicants. The Investigating Officer, who is present in court today, has stated on perusal of the Case Diary and after watching the Video footage that Vikash, Vishal, Nilesh and Ashish were indulging in violence and were destroying the vehicles that were present on the spot. Ashish is stated to have also in one Video footage snatched the lathi from his father Ramdhani, and Mohan, Sharda and Panna were seen on the spot present near their houses. From the statement given by the Investigating Officer, it appears that Mohan and Sharda are only seen present on the spot and there is no active involvement of the applicants in the incident in question. 9. Taking note of the entire facts and circumstances of the case as discussed above and also the fact that the applicants are senior citizens having no criminal history, I deem it appropriate to confirm the interim anticipatory bail granted to the applicants. 10.
