02. 1. Heard learned counsel for the Petitioners and learned counsel for the State.
2. The Petitioners are seeking pre-arrest bail in connection with G.R. Case No.170 of 2026 pending on the file of learned J.M.F.C., Tangi arising out of Choudwar P.S.

3. While opposing the prayer for pre-arrest bail, notwithstanding the injuries are simple, learned counsel for the State submits that the injury being on the vital part, no leniency ought to be shown.
4. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the Petitioner that the background in which the injury has been caused, the Petitioner may be protected by pre- arrest bail.
5. Taking into account the nature of the injury suffered which has been categorized as simple, it is directed that on surrendering within three weeks hence and moving for bail, the Petitioners shall be released on bail by the learned Court in seisin on such terms as deemed just and proper subject to verification of criminal antecedent of similar nature.
6. If it comes to the fore that the Petitioners have any such criminal antecedent, this order shall not be given effect to.
7. It is needless to state that the Petitioners shall cooperate with the ongoing investigation.
8. Accordingly, the ABLAPL stands disposed of. U.C.C. as per rules.
