¶2The case of the prosecution is that, on 11.04.2026, when the 2nd petitioner was watering the newly plastered wall, some water accidentally splashed onto the wall of the de facto complainant's house. When the same was questioned by the de facto complainant, the petitioners have abused the de facto complainant in filthy language and attacked him, thereby causing injuries. Hence, the case.

¶3Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners are innocent and due to previous enmity, a false complaint has been lodged against them. He further submitted that the petitioners are ready to abide by any stringent conditions that may be imposed by this Court. Hence, they prayed for the grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

¶4Learned Government Advocate (Criminal Side) appearing for the respondent police reiterated the prosecution case and opposed for the grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners. He further submitted that the injured has been discharged from the hospital.

¶5Heard both sides and perused the materials available on record.

¶6Considering the above facts and circumstances of the case and the nature of the allegation and further taking note of the fact that the injured has been discharged from the hospital, this Court is inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners with certain conditions.
