Supplementary affidavit filed today, is taken on record.
Heard learned counsel for the applicants and learned A.G.A. for the State.
As per prosecution version, 27-28 persons including applicants and unknown persons came and started protesting against fake and bogus voting. In this protest they attacked on polling station/booth and hurled stones upon police personnel and injured them.
It is argued by learned counsel for the applicants that the applicants are ladies, innocent and have been falsely implicated in the present case due to village rivalry; no identification parade was done; the injures are simple in nature; there is no evidence against the applicants; no x-ray report has been shown. There is no prospect of trial of the present case being concluded in near future. The applicant no. 1 has criminal history of six cases, which is explained and applicant nos. 2 and 3 do not have any criminal history. It is next submitted that co- accused, Smt. Paanbai, Vimla and Shiv Bhanu Rajput having an identical role have already been enlarged on bail by this Court on 12.08.2021 in Criminal Misc. Bail Application Nos. 28118 of 2021 and 30435 of 2021 respectively. The applicants are languishing in jail since 20.04.2021 and in case they are enlarged on bail they will not misuse the liberty of bail and co- operate in trial.
Learned A.G.A. has vehemently opposed the prayer but could not dispute the aforesaid facts.
