Learned counsel appearing for petitioner submits that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in this case and the altercation took place as without payment from the shop of the petitioner certain articles were being taken by the informant. He further submits that two of the co-accused persons have been granted anticipatory bail by this Court in ABA No.2113 of 2026. On these grounds, he submits that anticipatory bail may kindly be granted. 4. Learned counsel appearing for the State opposed the prayer and submits that so far two of the accused persons are concerned, 2026:JHHC:16278 --2-- A.B.A. No. 2725 of 2026 who have been granted anticipatory bail the allegation of assault is not there against them and they happened to be the father and mother of this petitioner and the allegation is there against the petitioner of assault pursuant to that grievous injury has been received by the informant. On this ground, she submits that anticipatory bail may kindly be rejected. 5. Considering that the father and mother of this petitioner has been granted anticipatory bail in ABA No.2113 of 2026 as allegation of assault is not made against them and allegation of assault is there against the petitioner and in view of that the case of the petitioner is distinguishable with the case of father and mother of the petitioner and in the FIR there is direct allegation against the petitioner of assault pursuant to that the informant has received grievous injury. 6. In the attending facts and circumstances, I am not inclined to grant privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner, hence, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is hereby rejected.
