ORDER :

KULDEEP MATHUR, J.

These applications for bail under Section 483 BNSS have been filed by the petitioners who have been arrested in connection with F.I.R. No.14/2025 registered at Police Station Pilibanga, Dist. Hanumangarh, for the offences punishable under Sections 110, 115(2), 126(2) and 3(5) of BNS.

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

3. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners have been falsely implicated in the present case. Learned counsel submitted that in the alleged incident which occurred on 06.01.2025, the injuries allegedly inflicted by the petitioners upon the complainant- Laxmi Narayan with blunt weapons are simple in nature.

4. Lastly, learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioners are in judicial custody; the petitioners do not have any criminal antecedents 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 and learned counsel for the complainant have vehemently opposed the bail applications. Shri Hardik Gautam, the learned counsel for the complainant submitted that on the date of the alleged incident, the petitioners have inflicted injuries upon the injured person- Laxmi Narayan without there being any provocation from his side. It was submitted that looking to the seriousness of the allegations levelled against the present petitioner, he does not deserve to be enlarged on bail. However, learned counsels were not in a position to refute the fact that as per the case diary produced by the learned Public Prosecutor, the injuries allegedly inflicted by the petitioners upon the injured person are simple in nature.

6. Having considered the rival submissions, facts and circumstances of the case and without expressing any opinion on merits/demerits of the case, this Court is of the opinion that the bail applications filed by the petitioners deserve to be accepted.
