The petitioners, who apprehend arrest at the hands of the respondent police for the alleged offences punishable under Sections 294(b), 323, 324, 506(2) of IPC, in Crime No.183 of 2024, seek anticipatory bail.

2. The case of the prosecution is that there was a previous enmity between the 1st petitioner father and the defacto complainant's family, as a result of which, on 24.03.2024, the petitioners along with other accused persons have entered the defacto complainant's house and attacked him and caused simple injuries. Hence, the complaint.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners are innocent persons and they have been falsely implicated in this case. He further submitted that the petitioners are ready to abide by any stringent conditions that may be imposed by this Court. Hence, he prays for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

4. The learned Government Advocate (Criminal Side) appearing for the respondent police submitted that the investigation is almost completed and there is no previous cases pending against the petitioners. Hence, he vehemently opposed for grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.
