Case of the prosecution, in brief, is that on 31.03.2026 at about 9:50 p.m., while the complainant was going to his home, he was abused and assaulted by the present applicants with other co-accused persons. The 2 complainant sustained injuries over his head and knee. He was medically examined and advised to undergo an X-ray. In the X-ray, no bony injury was detected, but the Doctor opined that the injuries sustained by the complainant were serious in nature. An FIR was lodged by the complainant on 31.03.2026, resultantly, the offences as stated above were registered against all the accused persons. 3. Learned counsel appearing for the applicants would contend that the injuries sustained by the complainant were simple in nature as he did not remain hospitalized for single day; charge-sheet has been filed and applicants are in jail since 13.08.2026. He would further contend that similarly situated co-accused persons have already been granted regular bail by this Court vide order dated 16.09.2026 passed in MCRC/8374/2026 & one other connected matter; there are no criminal antecedents against the present applicants; thus, he would pray for grant of bail to the applicants. 4. On the other hand, learned counsel for the State would oppose the bail applications and submit that there are serious allegations against the present applicants. He would submit that the according to the medical report, injuries sustained by the complainant were serious in nature; thus, the bail application deserve to be rejected. 5. I have heard learned counsel appearing for the parties and perused the case diary. 6. Having considered the fact that there was a dispute between the parties and in heat of the moment, a blow with wooden club was inflicted by the accused persons; the charge-sheet has been filed, the applicants have no criminal antecedents and applicants are in jail since 13.08.2026; co-accused persons have already been enlarged on regular bail by this Court, I am inclined to allow the application. Accordingly, the bail application is hereby allowed. 3 7. It is directed that in the event of the applicants executing a personal bond for a sum of Rs.50,000/- each with one surety in the like sum to the satisfaction of the concerned trial Court, they shall be released on bail on the following conditions:- (i) they shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing such fact to the Court; (ii) they shall not act in any manner which will be prejudicial to fair and expeditious trial, & (iii) they shall appear before the trial Court on each and every date given to him by the said Court till disposal of the trial.
