Case Nos. 204 & 205 of 2026 along with the present one. The submission is that in the other two cases, some of the accused persons have been granted bail pursuant to the orders in ABLAPL Nos. 4846, 4931, 4938 & 4961 of 2026.

The details of the incident for which the mischief was committed by the accused persons stand revealed in the F.I.R.

But having regard to the p. 3 fact that the petitioners are on the equal footing like the other accused persons in the connected cases, recording the objection of the State and the claim that no one is having any antecedent of similar nature, this Court is inclined to direct them to surrender before the learned court below for being released instead of entertaining their bail plea as is advanced. 4. Accordingly, it is ordered. 5. In the result, the ABLAPLs stand disposed of with the direction as aforesaid. It is further directed that in the event, the petitioners surrender before the learned J.M.F.C., Rasgovindpur within a fortnight from today in connection with Rasgovindpur P.S.
