It is submitted by the learned counsel that the Petitioners have been falsely implicated in the case at hand. 4. Referring to the recitals in the case diary, it is stated that even if the entire allegations are accepted at its face value, the same does not call for any custodial interrogation.
Hence, they may be protected by pre-arrest bail. 5. It is stated that the injury sustained by the injured is simple in nature. 6. Such submission is opposed by the learned counsel for the State since the investigation is at a nascent stage. 7. Taking into account the nature of allegation, it is directed that on surrendering within three weeks hence and moving for bail, the Petitioners shall be released on bail by the learned Court in seisin on such terms as deemed subject to verification of criminal antecedent and the injury. 8. If it comes to fore that the Petitioners have criminal antecedents of similar nature and the injury sustained by the injured is grievous, this order shall not be given effect to. 9. It is needless to state that the Petitioners shall cooperate with the ongoing investigation. 10. Accordingly, the ABLAPL stands disposed of. (V.
