2. The case of the prosecution is that, due to money dispute, there was a quarrel between the petitioner and the de-facto complainant, as a result of which, the petitioner attacked the defacto complainant, thereby caused injury to him and also criminally intimidated him. Hence, the de-facto complainant lodged a complainant before the respondent police.

4.The learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the respondent police submitted that the injured has discharged from the hospital, after completing treatment.

6. Accordingly, the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail in the event of arrest or on his appearance, within a period of fifteen days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, before the Learned II Metropolitan Magistrate, Egmore, on condition that the petitioner shall execute his own bond for a sum of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand Only), to the satisfaction of the respondent police or the police officer who intends to arrest or to the satisfaction of the learned Magistrate concerned and on further condition that:
