ORDER
The petitioners apprehend arrest for the alleged offence under Sections 296(B), 118(1), 351(3) of B.N.S. in Crime No.70 of 2026 on the file of the respondent police seeks anticipatory bail.
2. The allegation against the petitioners is that both the petitioners and the defacto complainant were known to each other and on 27.04.2026, due to a sudden misunderstanding, a wordy quarrel arose between them, as a result of which, they have attacked each other, thereby he sustained grievous injury. Hence, the complaint.
3. The learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that they have not committed any offence as alleged by the defacto complainant and due to some misunderstanding, a false case has been foisted against them. He would further submit that they are ready and willing to abide any condition that may be imposed by this court and they undertake to cooperate with the investigation. Accordingly, he prayed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.
4. The learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) appearing for the respondent reiterated the prosecution case. He further submitted that the
petitioners attacked the defacto complainant and caused severe injuries to him. Hence, he opposed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.
5. At this juncture, the learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners, without prejudice to their defense and contention, are ready and willing to deposit an amount of Rs.5,000/- each to any association. Hence, he prays for grant of bail to the petitioners.
6. I have given anxious consideration to the submissions made by the learned counsel on either side and also perused the records available.
7. Considering the fact that injured discharged from the hospital and also the fact that the petitioners have come forward to deposit an amount of Rs.5,000/- each to the credit of "Tamil Nadu Advocate Clerk Association, Chennai", this Court is inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners, subject to certain conditions.

Accordingly, the petitioners shall pay a sum of Rs.5,000/- (Rupees Five Thousand only) each as cost to the Tamil Nadu Advocate Clerk Association, Chennai and on such payment, 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 on which the order copy made ready, before the learned Judicial
