4. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the allegation is against Tesh Lal Pasi mainly of giving 'kudal' blow to the informant and his brother, subsequently, the same was exaggerated and though a scuffle took place, all the female members including these two petitioners were implicated. Omnibus allegation is against them and are ready to diligently appear in the trial.
5. Learned APP for the State, on the other hand, opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail and submits that the allegation of assaulting the mother of the informant is against all the accused persons including the two petitioners.
6. Though the allegation is grave, the accused with common intention assaulted which led to death of the mother but the fact remains that the main accusation is on Tesh Lal Pasi, these two petitioners are ladies having no criminal antecedent, it is informed that petitioner no. 2 is going to be married, in that background, this Court is inclined to grant them the anticipatory bail with conditions.
7. Let the petitioners in the event of arrest or surrnender within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of the order, shall be released on anticipatory bail on furnishing bail of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned S.D.J.M., Bikramganj,
