Learned counsel appearing for the State opposed the prayer and submits that the allegations are there of pelting stone upon the police personnel. 5. Looking to the contents of the FIR, it transpires that the FIR has been registered against 9 named persons and 100 unknown persons. The allegations are made of pelting stone upon the police personnel, which is general and omnibus against all the accused persons. Although two of the petitioners are named in the FIR, however allegations are similar against them also. The petitioners are having no criminal antecedents, as disclosed in paragraph 13 of this application and co-accused persons have already been provided privilege of anticipatory bail by a Coordinate Bench of this Court in the aforesaid A.B.As. In the attending facts and circumstances of the case, I am inclined to extend the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioners. 6.
