Hence, the complaint.
3. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submitted that it is a case and case in counter regarding this occurrence and further submitted that he is ready to abide by any conditions that may be imposed by this Court. Hence, he prayed for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

6. Considering the submissions made by the learned counsel on either side, the fact that it is a case and case in counter, the injured was discharged 2/6
from the hospital, the petitioners have no previous case pending against them, this Court is inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners, subject to certain conditions.
