with the other accused, approached the de-facto complainant with
weapons, assaulted him, and threatened him as well as his friends with

alleged by the prosecution. He further submitted that the petitioner is
ready and willing to abide by any conditions that may be imposed by this

Court. He would further submit that some of the co-accused were
granted anticipatory bail by this Court. Hence, he seeks anticipatory bail
to the petitioner.
4. The learned Government Advocate (Criminal Side) appearing
for the respondent police submitted that it is a case, case in counter. He
further submitted that due to a temple dispute, the accused persons
assaulted the de-facto complainant and others, threatened them, and
caused damage to the vehicles parked there. As a result, 21 persons were
injured, including one police officer. He also submitted that the injured
persons have been discharged from the hospital. However, he opposed
the grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner.
5. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and also the
fact that the issue pertains to a temple dispute, and that it is a case, case
in counter, and that the injured persons have already been discharged
from the hospital, and some of the co-accused were granted anticipatory
bail, this Court is inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner,
subject to certain conditions.
