4.

Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners are innocent and they are no way concerned with the alleged offences.

He also submitted that the petitioners are residents of Telangana State, with movable and immovable properties, and are willing to furnish sureties as directed. Hence, he prayed the Court to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners by allowing this criminal petition.
