This Criminal Petition, under Section 438 ol the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, is filed by the petitioners/Accused Nos. 1 and 2 seeking to grant anticipatory bail in the event of their arrest in connection with Crime No.20 of 2O2l of Bheempur Police Station, Adilabad, which was registered for the offences punishable under Sections 307, 290, 506 and 323 read with 34 I.P.C. 2.
Heard learned counsel appearing for the petitioners, learned Assistant Public Prosecutor appearing for the respondent-State and perused the record.
3.
Learned counsel for the petitioners would submit that a false case has been foisted against the petitioners; that as a counter blast to the complaint lodged by the petitioners, the complainant has lodged the present complaint and ultimately, prayed this Court to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. 4.
The petitioners are wile and husband and they have been falsely implicated in this case. The petitioners have not commltted any oflence much less the offences alleged against them in the complaint petition. Tl,e de /acfo complainant, with a mala fide intention to harass the petitioners, has foistecl a false case against the petitioners for the aforesaid offences though there is no injury report whatsoever regarding the alleged assault made by the petitioners. It is further submitted that the victim is a Sarpanch of Pipalkoti Gram Panchayat and she is very negligent in discharging her duties and there are various problems in the village, but she is
reluctant to take any steps to attend the grievances of the village people. The petitioners are facing one such problem with regard to drainage and water and they have been requesting the victim to take steps to solve the problem, but she paid a deaf ear. However, on 76.05.2021 when the drainage pipeline struck of and drainage water was stagnated, the petitioners went to the house of victim and complainant for redressal of their grievances, but, the victim and complainant became wild, rather they abused the petitioners in filthy language and assaulted them indiscriminately causing multiple injuries, for which the petitioners lodged a complaint against the victim and complainant at Bheempur Police Station. As a counter blast to the said case, the present complaint has been lodged by the complainant on 17.05.202 I without there being any iota of truth in it. It is further submitled that the petitioners are ready to abide by any condition.
5.
Learned Assistant Public Prosecutor opposed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.
6.
Thus looking into the nature of allegations levelled against the petitioners/Accused Nos. 1 and 2 and having regard to the other facts and circumstances of the case, without advertising into the merits of the case, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners/ Accused Nos. I and 2.
7 .

I and 2 are granted anticipatory bail subject to the following terms and conditions: (1) The petitioners/ accused Nos. 1 and 2 are directed to surrender before the Station House Officer, Bheempur PoliceStalion, Adilabpd, within a period of four
