2. The case of the prosecution is that there seem to be a money dispute between the petitioners and the defacto complainant, the petitioners along with co-accused alleged to have trespassed into the house of the defacto complainant at night and caused injury to the defacto complainant and damaged their house including household

article. The petitioners along with other accused attacked the defacto complainant and threatened them with dire consequences. Hence the complaint.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioners would submit that the petitioners are innocent persons and they have been falsely implicated in this case and that the petitioners are ready to abide by any stringent condition that may be imposed by this Court. He would submit that the petitioners have been suffering incarceration for more than 11 days from 29.10.2021. Hence, he would pray for grant of bail to the petitioners.

4. The learned Government Advocate raised formal objection and would submit that the injured has been discharged from the hospital.

5. Considering the fact that the investigation is almost completed and injured has been discharged from hospital and also considering the period of incarceration undergone by the petitioners, this Court is inclined to grant bail to the petitioners with certain conditions.
