on 12.04.2026 at about 12.30 a.m., when the defacto complainant
was sleeping at his home, the petitioners and other accused were
thrown liquor bottles in front of the door. Hence the case.

submit that the petitioners are innocent and they were falsely
implicated in this case and they have not committed any offence as
alleged by the prosecution. He would further submit that they
have been arrested and remanded to judicial custody on

the respondent would submit that based on the complaint lodged
by the defacto complainant, the case has been registered under
Section 3 of Explosives Substance Act in Crime No. 216 of 2026. He
would further submit that the petitioners have no previous case.
He would further submit that the investigation is pending and the
offences are grave in nature and hence, he strongly opposed to
grant bail to the petitioners.
5. This Court heard both sides and perused the materials
available on record.
6. Considering the rival submissions made by the learned
counsel on either side, nature of offence, and considering the fact
that the petitioners have no previous case and also considering the
period of incarceration undergone by the petitioners, this Court is
