Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that two groups of approximately 50-60 persons were agitating and one of the parties has called upon the police thereafter police came at the spot and allegations are made that assault has been made upon the police personnel. He further submits that dispute between the two groups was with regard to land. He then submits that in identical situation co-accused persons have been granted anticipatory bail in ABA Nos. 6991 of 2025, 6810 of 2025, 6764 of 2025 and 477 of 2026. On these grounds, he submits that anticipatory bail may kindly be provided to the petitioners. 4. Learned A.P.P. appearing for the State has opposed the prayer and submits that the allegation of assault is there upon the police personnel. On this ground, he submits that anticipatory bail may kindly be rejected. 5. Looking into contents of F.I.R, it transpires that 50-60 persons were assembled and later on 350-400 persons came there and on call police personnel came at the spot. There is general and omnibus allegations against all the accused persons. It is not clear from whose blow injured has received and further injury is found to be simple in nature and in identical situation, co-accused persons have been granted anticipatory bail in the aforesaid ABAs. 6. In the attending facts and circumstances of this case, I am inclined to provide anticipatory bail to the petitioners. 7.
