2. Heard learned counsel for the parties at Bar. Perused the material available on record.

3. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that in the alleged incident, which occurred on 30.11.2024, the injuries allegedly inflicted by the petitioners upon the injured- Manju Devi are though grievous in nature but the same are not dangerous to life.

4. Learned counsel submitted that the petitioners are in judicial custody; challan has already been filed and the trial of the case will take sufficiently long time, therefore, the benefit of bail may be granted to the accused-petitioners.

5. Per contra, learned Public Prosecutor has opposed the bail application. However, he was not in a position to refute the fact that the injuries allegedly inflicted by the petitioners upon the injured- Manju Devi are though grievous in nature but the same are not dangerous to life.

It is ordered that the accused-petitioners (1) Amrit Lal S/o Kachra (2) Rakesh S/o Bhagwanlal and (3) Vijay Kumar S/o Arjunlal, arrested in connection with FIR No.148/2024 registered at Police Station Parsad, District Salumber, shall be released on bail, if not wanted in any other case, provided each of them furnishes a personal bond of Rs.50,000/- and two sureties of Rs.25,000/- each, to the satisfaction of learned trial court, for their appearance before that court on each & every date of hearing and whenever called upon to do so till completion of the trial.
