Case of prosecution, in brief, is that the complainant submitted written complaint in concerned police station alleging that on 25.7.2026 at about 12:00 noon when she along with his mother-in-law and uncle-in-law was returning home and reached near the house of Surendra Sahu, the applicant, who was standing, abused her uncle-in-law filthily and assaulted him by means of hands. They somehow managed to escape from there and when they reached near the house of Kanshiram, applicant and co-accused Ankit Parihar came there, caught hold of both her hands with bad intention and when her uncle-in-law tried to stop them, they assaulted him. Accused persons assaulted her husband also and threatened to kill by setting on fire all the family members Based on aforementioned allegations, police registered the crime in question against the applicant and co-accused Ankit Parihar. 3. Learned counsel for applicant would submit that applicant is innocent, he has been falsely implicated in this case and he has not committed any offence as alleged. He submits that there was fight between the persons of two groups against which applicant has lodged FIR in concerned police station on 25.7.2026 and based upon FIR bearing No.0225/2026 for the offence under Sections 199 (2), 296, 115 (2), 351 (3) of BNS was registered. Thereafter, wife of one of accused in FIR 3 No.0225/2026 registered on the complaint of applicant has lodged the complaint based on which instant crime is registered. He submits that from the contents of FIR it is evident that initially dispute took place with the uncle-in-law of complainant and in order to make the offence grievous false allegation has been levelled that the applicant and co- accused have misbehaved with the complainant. There is no criminal antecedent against him and hence, he may be extended benefit of anticipatory bail. 4. On the other hand, learned State counsel opposes the submission of learned counsel for applicant and submits that there is allegation against the applicant and co-accused of misbehaving with complainant due to which further incident has occurred. However, upon putting specific query with regard criminal incident of applicant, he submits after going through case diary that there is no criminal antecedent against the applicant. 5. Heard learned counsel for the parties. 6. On due consideration on the submission of learned counsel for respective parties, nature of allegations and contents of both FIRs and further considering that there is no other criminal antecedent against him, without commenting anything on merits of the case, I am inclined to release the applicant on anticipatory bail. 4 7. Accordingly, the anticipatory bail application is allowed.
