Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the

learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State.

2. The petitioners seek regular bail in connection with

Karakat P.S. Case No. 169 of 2024, registered for the offence

punishable under Sections 341, 323, 307, 354, 448, 504 and 34 of the

Indian Penal Code. Petitioners have clean antecedent.

3. As per the FIR, the named accused persons are alleged

to have entered into the house of the informant and were teasing the

daughter-in-law of the informant and when protest was made, the

named accused persons are said to have assaulted them causing

injuries to several persons on the informant’s side and thereafter the

informant and others were also threatened of dire consequences.

4. The learned counsel for the petitioners submits that

they have falsely been implicated in this case. There is general and

omnibus allegation against the petitioners and no specific overt act

has been alleged. It has further been stated the there is case and

counter case for the same incident and the FIR was lodged on behalf

of the petitioner bearing Karakat P.S. Case No. 170 of 2024. It has

also been stated that most of the injuries were found to be simple

barring one injury received by Kurban Ali which was found to be

grievous in nature. It has lastly been submitted that the petitioners

5. The learned A.P.P. for the State has vehemently

opposed the prayer for bail and has stated that there is allegation

upon the petitioners to have assaulted the informant’s side causing

grievous injury to one Kurban Ali.

respective parties and taking into account the fact that there is general

and omnibus allegation against the petitioners and the petitioners

privilege of regular bail.

7. Accordingly, the prayer for bail is allowed.
