The said case is mainly under Sections 336, 395 and 143, 147, 148 and 149 of IPC and Section 37(1)(3) and 135 of Bombay Police Act. 3. It is the prosecution case that complainant and applicants belong to rival political parties.

Due to which, he sustained C.L.W. over the right forearm. The injury certificate does not mention that the injury was grievous or dangerous to the life. There is no material to show that on account of said injury, there was any external fracture. 4. It is further the prosecution case that in the said incident, property worth Rs.75,000/- came to be robbed from the wife of the complainant. The learned advocate for the applicants states on instructions that the applicants along with others will deposit an amount of Rs.75,000/- before the Investigating Officer. Looking to the above facts, in my view, the custody of the applicants is not necessary. Hence, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the applicants. 5.
