C.V.KARTHIKEYAN , J.

The petitioners herein seek anticipatory bail in Crime No.553 of 2023 registered by the respondent Police for the offences under Sections 147, 148, 341, 324, 363 and 506(ii) and 307 IPC.

2.The learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners are innocents and they have been falsely implicated in this case. Thus, he seeks grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

3. It is stated that all the petitioners are neighbours/relatives. It is also stated that 1st petitioner had taken a contract in Judges colony at Noombal Village for earth filling and for that particular purpose he had taken sand and was mining the sand. It is stated that an altercation had taken place at that particular point of time. When the defacto complainant complained that illegal mining was taking place, there was a quarrel which escalated into violence and necessitating lodging of complaint, counter complaint and registration of two separate First Information Reports.
