This judgment in the centre: on the left the decisions it cites, on the right the decisions citing it. Colour is the treatment; choose a decision to open it.
1. Learned advocate for the petitioners submits that the incident complained of is of the year 2021 and the petitioners have been implicated in the criminal case pursuant to change in administration.
2. Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail.
3. I have taken into account the letter of complaint which was addressed to the Officer-in-Charge of the concerned police station.
4. Having regard to the fact that the dispute had originated in the year 2021 and there were subsequent events which have been complained of, I am of the view that custodial detention of the present petitioners may not be warranted.

5. As such, prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners, namely, Rasid Kazi, Rauf Kazi @ Roup Kazi and Bakibilla Molla is allowed.
6. In the event of arrest, the petitioners be released on bail by the Investigating Officer/Arresting Officer of the case on such terms and conditions as it deems fit and proper. This would be subject to the conditions under Section 438(2) of the Cr.P.C. and/or under Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
7. Since charge-sheet has already been submitted before the learned Jurisdictional Court, this order of anticipatory bail would be valid for a period of six weeks.
8. With the aforesaid observation, C.R.M. (A) 2845 of 2026 is disposed of.
9. Memo of evidence submitted be kept with the record.
10. All parties shall act in terms of the server copy of the order downloaded from the official website of this Court.
11. Urgent Photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities.
