Apprehending arrest at the hands of the respondent police for the alleged offences punishable under Sections 294(b), 324 and 506(ii) IPC in Crime No.289 of 2016 on the file of the respondent police, the petitioner has come forward with this petition seeking anticipatory bail.

2. The petitioner and the defacto complainant are neighbours. The case of the prosecution is that due to previous enmity, in a wordy quarrel, the petitioner along with other accused is alleged to have attacked the defacto complainant and caused injuries and abused him in a filthy language and threatened him with dire consequences.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that false complaint has been lodged against the petitioner and he has not committed any such offence.

4. The learned Government Advocate (Crl. Side) on instructions submitted that the injured has been discharged from the hospital.

5. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and taking note of the fact that the injured has been discharged from the hospital, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner with the following conditions.

6. Accordingly, the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail in the event of arrest or on her appearance, within a period of fifteen days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, before the learned District Munsif-cum-Judicial Magistrate, Mettupalayam, Coimbatore District, on her executing a bond for a sum of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand Only) with two sureties each for a like sum
