The petitioners in both the cases apprehend their arrest in a criminal prosecution registered under sections 307, 353, 452, 379 and other allied offences under the Indian Penal Code. According to prosecution case, the petitioners along with other members of the mob are alleged to have entered inside the Block office, assaulted the B.D.O.-cum-C.O., Bhorey Anchal and other government officials, causing injuries on their persons. 2 Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that as a matter of fact, the petitioners had organized a protest meeting and for that reason the present case has been lodged against them and others with false allegations. Be that as it may, in view of the nature of allegations against the petitioners and in view of the fact that Block office was ransacked by the accused persons, including the petitioners and the government officers were assaulted by them, this Court is not persuaded to accede to the prayer made on behalf of the petitioners for grant of anticipatory bail. It is accordingly, rejected. The petitioners of both cases must surrender in the court below in connection with Bhorey P.S. Case No. 198 of 2009/ G.R. No. 2445 of 2009 within a period of four weeks from today and seek regular bail, if so advised, which shall be considered and disposed of on its own merit without being prejudiced by the present order.
