ORDER

The petitioners, who apprehend arrest at the hands of the respondent police for the offences punishable under Sections 191(2), 191(3), 296(b), 115(2), 118(1) and 351(3) of BNSS, in connection with Crime No.2 of 2026, registered on the file of the respondent, seek anticipatory bail.

2. The allegation against the petitioners is that, due to a land dispute, the petitioners have attacked the de facto complainant and his family members using their hands and wooden stick, thereby causing injuries. Hence, the case.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners are the innocent persons and have been falsely implicated in the case. Hence, he prays for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

4. The learned Government Advocate appearing for the respondent police reiterated the prosecution case and submitted that the petitioners have no previous case and that the injured has been discharged from the hospital. However, she opposed for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

5. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the submissions made by the learned counsel on either side, and also taking into account that the

petitioners have no previous case and that the injured has been discharged from the hospital, this Court is inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners with certain conditions:

6. Accordingly, the petitioners are ordered to be released on bail in the event of arrest or on their appearance, within a period of fifteen days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, before the learned Judicial Magistrate, Rasipuram on condition that the petitioners shall execute a bond for a sum of Rs.15,000/- (Rupees Fifteen Thousand Only) with two sureties each for a like sum to the satisfaction of the learned Magistrate concerned, and on further condition that:

[a] if the petitioners fails to surrender before the concerned Magistrate within a period of fifteen days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, this order shall stand automatically cancelled;

[b] the sureties shall affix their photographs and Left Thumb Impression in the Application for Surety ship [Judicial Form No.46 annexed to 'The Criminal Rules of Practice, 2019']. The learned Magistrate shall obtain a copy of any one of the identity proofs to ensure their identity; [c] the petitioners shall report before the respondent police daily at 10.30 a.m., for a period of

three weeks and thereafter as and when required for interrogation;

[d] On breach of any of the aforementioned conditions, the learned Magistrate/Trial Court is entitled to pass appropriate orders against the petitioners in accordance with law as if the aforementioned conditions have been imposed and the petitioners released on bail by the learned Magistrate/Trial Court himself as laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in P.K.Shaji vs. State of Kerala [(2005)13 SCC 283];

[e] If the accused thereafter absconds, a fresh FIR can be registered under Section 269 of B.N.S.
