02/21.04.2026 Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submits that the petitioner no.3 has been inadvertently arrayed in the present case as she has already been granted anticipatory bail by the impugned order. In view of that, he is withdrawing the prayer for anticipatory bail of petitioner no.3 Sahena Bibi @ Sahana Khatoon. Learned counsel for the petitioners further submits that this petition will now survive for petitioner nos.1 and 2.
Accordingly, prayer for anticipatory bail of petitioner no.3 Sahena Bibi @ Sahana Khatoon is dismissed as withdrawn.

5. Looking to the contents of the FIR, it transpires that the allegations of assault are general and omnibus in nature and the co-accused, Sahena Bibi @ Sahana Khatoon has been granted anticipatory bail being the lady by the learned Sessions Judge. Considering the allegation is identical against petitioner no.2- Amana Bibi, in that view of the matter, I am inclined to grant bail to the petitioner no.2 - Amana Bibi and as such the petitioner no.2- Amana Bibi, is directed to surrender before the learned court within two weeks from today and the learned court shall release the petitioner no.2- Amana Bibi on such terms and conditions or the sureties as the learned Court may deem fit and proper.
6. So far petitioner no.1- Taufik Ansari @ Taufik Alam is concerned, his case is identical to those persons, whose anticipatory bail has been rejected by this court in A.B.A. No.1786 of 2026. In that view of the matter, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner no.1- Taufik Ansari @ Taufik Alam. However, if the petitioner no.1- Taufik Ansari @ Taufik Alam surrenders before the learned court by filing regular bail application, the same will be considered in accordance with law without being prejudiced to this order.
