Perusal of the material on record would go to show that on 21.07.2026 at about 12.00 p.m. the officers of Greater Bangalore Authority, Shivaji Nagar Sub-Division, were taking steps for clearing the footpath in front of Atal Bihari Vajpayi Medical College at Shivajinagar, Bengaluru. Accused persons, who are allegedly carrying on business in the footpath quarrelled with the staff of Greater Bangalore Authority and also assaulted them with a helmet and caused injuries. 5. Learned HCGP has fairly submitted that all the five injured victims in the present case have suffered only simple injury in the incident. Though in the FIR it is mentioned that, two persons and another unknown had assaulted the staff of Greater Bangalore Authority on 21.07.2026, in the remand application, petitioners are arrayed as accused nos.10 and 11. It is not in dispute that, the petitioners herein do not have any criminal antecedents. Major portion of the investigation is already completed. Accordingly, the following :- ORDER (i) Criminal petitions are allowed. - 5 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010556452026 NC: 2026:KHC:48336 CRL.P No. 12250 of 2026 C/W CRL.P No. 12293 of 2026 (ii) The petitioners are directed to be enlarged on bail in Crime No.126 of 2026 registered by Commercial Street Police Station, Bengaluru for offences punishable under Sections 109(1), 132, 74, 351(2), 352, 190, 121(1) of BNS, 2023, subject to the following conditions: a) Petitioners shall execute a personal bond for a sum of Rs.1,00,000/- (Rupees One Lakh only) each with two sureties for the likesum, to the satisfaction of the jurisdictional Court; b) The petitioners shall appear regularly on all the dates of hearing before the Trial Court unless the Trial Court exempts their appearance for valid reasons; c) The petitioners shall not directly or indirectly threaten or tamper with the prosecution witnesses; d) The petitioners shall not involve in similar offences in future; Sd/- (S VISHWAJITH SHETTY) JUDGE NMS/List No.: 1 Sl No.: 46
