After seeing accused No.2 and other accused persons, CW1 allegedly ran away from the spot. Accused persons had thereafter assaulted CW2 Rakshith, believing that he was the friend of CW1 and caused grievous injuries to him. Investigation of the case is completed and charge sheet is filed. Injured victim CW2, who was admitted in Hospital has been already discharged and his condition is said to be stable. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that petitioner has no other criminal antecedents. Considering the background in which the incident had taken place and the fact that injured victim has now been discharged and his condition is said to be stable, I am of the opinion that petitioner's prayer for grant of regular bail needs to be answered affirmatively. Accordingly, the following order:- 5. The petition is allowed. The petitioner is directed to be enlarged on bail in Crime No.231/2026 registered by Surayanagar Police Station, Benglauru, for the offences - 4 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010625772026 NC: 2026:KHC:53370 CRL.P No. 14067 of 2026 punishable under Sections 189(2), 191(2), 191(3), 190, 109, 352 and 351(2) of BNS, 2023, subject to the following conditions: a) Petitioner shall execute a personal bond for a sum of Rs.1,00,000/- with two sureties for the likesum, to the satisfaction of the jurisdictional Court; b) The petitioner shall appear regularly on all the dates of hearing before the Trial Court unless the Trial Court exempts his appearance for valid reasons; c) The petitioner shall not directly or indirectly threaten or tamper with the prosecution witnesses; d) The petitioner shall not involve in similar offences in future; e) The petitioner shall not leave the jurisdiction of the Trial Court without permission of the said Court until the case registered against him is disposed off.
