around 11.00 PM in the night when he reached in front of the Gumti of

of complainant. Thereafter Sanjay, Bagdiram, Jitendra @ Chhotu, Ishwar,
Shubham, Karan, Badhi, Kailash and Mahesh came there armed with sword,
Farsa, iron rod and Lathi and abused the complainant and attacked on his car.
In the incident complainant suffered injuries on various parts of the body, he

offence has been registered against the present applicant and other co-
accused persons.

been examined in the trial Court and he has not supported the case of the
prosecution. She has further submitted that the compromise has also taken
place between the parties. Applicants are in jail since 29.7.2025 & 30.7.2025

it is submitted that the bail application be allowed and applicants be released
on bail.

the prayer and it is submitted that no case for grant of bail is made out.
6. Having considered the rival submissions and on perusal of the case
diary and looking to the statement of the injured and the fact that final
conclusion of the trial is likely to take sufficient long time, in the considered
opinion of this Court, the applicant's application deserves to be allowed.

application filed by the applicants is allowed. The applicant No.1 Karan
