It was argued that another FIR registered against the deceased corroborated their version of events. The prosecution vehemently opposed bail, citing the seriousness of the alleged offenses, including causing grave injuries to the deceased and obstructing police duties. The prosecution also mentioned another FIR filed regarding offenses against police personnel. It was argued that the appellants, along with others, engaged in mob lynching and obstructed police from performing their duties, leading to the deceased&#8217;s death.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court emphasised on the seriousness of the charges and the nature of allegations against the appellants, including their involvement in mob violence and obstruction of police duties. The Court condemned mob violence and interference with law enforcement, emphasising that such actions are unacceptable in civilized society. The Court stated that proceedings against the appellants would continue as per law, and they cannot use the FIR against the deceased as a shield at this stage. The Court emphasised on the need to prevent mob violence and uphold the rule of law, stating that individuals cannot take the law into their own hands.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">&#8220;&#8230;mob-lynching practice is not acceptable in civilized society at any cost. We are not living in a barbarian society. People are not allowed to take law in their hands so also, they should also not be allowed to create hindrance in working of the police, who in the instant case, reached at the spot but was prevented in discharging their official duties of maintaining law and order situation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court, without commenting on the merits of the case, denied bail considering the gravity of the offenses and the nature of allegations against the appellants. The Court dismissed the criminal appeals filed by the appellants and refused to grant bail.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Darshan Singh<\/span> v. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">State of Rajasthan<\/span>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/KWy3AEJc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2024 SCC OnLine Raj 1088<\/a>, order dated 14-03-2024<\/span>]<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>Advocates who appeared in this case :<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 18pt;\">Mr. Anurag Sharma with Ms. Shreya Hatila and Mr. Rajneesh Gupta with Ms. Chanchal Sharma, Counsel for the Appellants<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 18pt;\">Mr. S.K.
