In course of altercation it is alleged that one Pramod Singh, husband of petitioner No.1 brought out his rifle and fired, he obviously did not injure anybody. There was pelting of stones. There was no injury report. Petitioners had moved for anticipatory before the learned Sessions Court earlier which was rejected. Police in the meantime submitted chargesheet under Section 504 alone but the 2 learned Chief Judicial Magistrate did not accept the same and took cognizance of offences including under Section 307 of the I.P.C. Petitioners move before the Sessions Judge again which was rejected on the ground that it is not maintainable being second application for anticipatory bail. Petitioners submitted that the two applications were filed at different times and under different situations and as such they were maintainable. There is nothing in law which prevents filing a anticipatory bail application. A reference to the First Information Report itself would show that it was only a family feud and petitioners are all ladies.
