Case of the prosecution, in brief, is that the complainant, Mohd. Naushad, lodged a written report alleging that on 26.05.2026 at about 9:30 P.M., while his son, Mohd. Faizan Ahmad, was taking a walk outside their house, certain unknown persons, acting in furtherance of their common intention, abused him, threatened to kill him, and assaulted him with a sharp-edged weapon, inflicting two injuries on his left thigh before fleeing from the spot. On the basis of the report, an FIR was registered against unknown persons and investigation was undertaken. During investigation, the injured identified the accused persons in an identification proceeding conducted through the Naib Tahsildar. Hence, the bail application. 3. Learned counsel for the applicants submits that the applicants have not committed any offence and they have been falsely implicated in offence in question. He further submits that the 3 injuries sustained by the injured is simple in nature. The applicants are in jail since 28.05.2026, the applicants have no criminal antecedent, charge-sheet has been filed and the trial is likely to take some time for its conclusion. Therefore, he prays for grant of bail to the applicants. 4. On the other hand, learned State Counsel opposes the bail application and submits that the charge-sheet has been filed in the present case. He further submits that the applicants allegedly in furtherance of common intention, abused the injured, threatened to kill him, and assaulted him with a sharp-edged weapon, causing two injuries on his left thigh. Furthermore, during investigation, the injured identified the applicants in the identification proceedings, and the weapon allegedly used in the offence was recovered at the instance of applicant No.1, Pintu Sahu. Therefore, the applicants are not entitled for grant of bail. 5. I have heard learned counsel appearing for the parties and perused the case diary. 6. Taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case, nature and gravity of offence, period of detention of the applicants since 28.05.2026, the fact that though the applicant allegedly in furtherance of their common intention, assaulted the injured with a sharp-edged weapon, causing injuries, and were subsequently identified by the injured during the investigation and weapon allegedly used in the offence was recovered at the instance of 4 applicant No.1, Pintu Sahu, but considering the fact that the injury sustained by the injured is found to be simple in nature and the applicants have no criminal antecedents, the charge-sheet has been filed, this Court is of the view that the applicants are entitled to be released on bail in this case. 7. Accordingly, the application is allowed. 8. 7. Accordingly, the application is allowed. 8.
