The petitioners, who apprehend arrest at the hands of the respondent police for the alleged offence punishable under Sections 294(b), 352 and 506(i) IPC in Crime No.458 of 2022, seek anticipatory bail.

2. The case of the prosecution is that due to previous enmity, the petitioners abused the defacto complainant in filthy language and also intimidated with dire consequences. Hence, the case.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioners would submit that they are innocent persons and they have been falsely implicated in this case. He would further submit that there is a counter case registered as against the defacto complainant. Hence, he prays to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

4. The learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) would submit that there was a dispute between the petitioners and the defacto complainant, due to which the petitioners abused the defacto complainant

in filthy language. However, no one sustained injuries in the said quarrel. However, he opposed to grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

5. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners with certain conditions.
