The said FIR is dated 22.8.2018 which was registered as Case Crime No.0292 of 2018. In the said FIR, neither the petitioner nor his family members were named. Subsequently, another FIR was lodged on 24.8.2018 in which 25 persons were named and hundred persons were shown as unknown. The said FIR was registered as Case Crime No.0293 of 2018. In the said FIR, the petitioner has been named, however general role has been assigned to him.

Even though it has been mentioned that a mob of hundred people had
gathered but nobody had received any single injury even an abrasion.

anybody had received injury. This fact has not been disputed by Shri
Patanjali Mishra, learned AGA or Shri Jitendra Prasad Misrha, learned
counsel appearing for the Union of India.
(3.) It has also been informed that in the said Case Crime No.0293 of 2018, the petitioner has been granted bail on 27.9.2018 by the Court of Sessions. It has been further informed that the petitioner has got no
previous criminal history and he is not involved in any other criminal
case.
Shri Jitendra Prasad Mishra, learned counsel appearing for Union of
India, at the very outset, has informed the Court that no allegation has
been made against the Union of India even though a short counter
affidavit has been filed on behalf of Union of India which has been duly
perused by this Court.
Learned counsel for the petitioner has drawn attention of this Court
to the detention order dated 19.9.2018 which has been approved by the
State Government on 1.11.2018 for a period of three months from the date
of detention order.
