2.The case of the prosecution is that the defacto complainant is the 1st petitioner's younger brother and they are having previous enmity over partitioning ancestral Properties. While so, on 07.07.2021, when the defacto complainant was in his house, the 2nd respondent started to quarrel with the defacto complainant questioning as if he informed to his neighbour land owners that the 2nd petitioner is the reason for falling down of boundary stone of them. In pursuance to the same, it is alleged that the petitioners abused the defacto complainant and his family and attacked them. Hence this complaint.

3.The learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submits that the petitioners have not committed any offence as alleged by the prosecution and they are falsely implicated in this case. Hence, the learned counsel prays

to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. 4.The learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) submits that the petitioners have not caused any injury to the defacto complainant and there are no previous cases pending against the petitioners.

5. Considering the fact that there is no injury caused by the petitioner and further there is also no previous case against the petitioners, this Court is inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. 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, Dharapuram, on condition that the petitioners shall execute a bond for a sum of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand Only) each, with two sureties each for a like sum 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:
