2. The case of the prosecution, in brief, is that on 31.12.2025, at about 11:45 PM, the Mandal Convener and others were celebrating New Year when Accused Nos. 7 and 8, along with some others belonging to YCP, arrived and provoked them, leading to a minor quarrel. The police intervened and sent everyone home. On 01.01.2026, at about 06:45 AM, the accused organized a protest on the main road in Yellanur village. When the TDP members arrived, some individuals belonging to YCP attacked them with sticks, sickles, rods, and glass bottles. During the attack, the de facto complainant sustained swelling on his left knee and a bleeding injury on the left side of his stomach, while others also suffered injuries.
3. Heard Sri S. Dushyanth Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioners and Mr.K.
The prolonged detention of accused necessitated bail despite pending investigations, with conditions imposed to ensure compliance with judicial proceedings.
Bail may be granted even in serious offences if the accused's fair trial rights are violated, and no compelling reason for continued incarceration exists.
Court grants pre-arrest bail under strict conditions, emphasizing cooperation in ongoing investigations.
Court grants bail considering prolonged custody, absence of witness tampering, and ongoing trial delays.
There is considerable progress in the investigation. So, in the facts and circumstances of the case, petitioners are entitled to be enlarged on bail on certain conditions.
