2. The allegation against the petitioners is that the petitioners due to quarrel with the defacto complainant attacked him with a knife and severing one of his finger. Hence the complaint.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that this is a case in counter. The defacto complainant also attacked the petitioners, who acted in self defense and sustained grievous injuries, as shown by their medical records. Hence, he prayed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

4. The learned Government Advocate (Crl. Side) submitted that the the injured discharged from the hospital. However, he opposed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

5. Considering the fact that this is a case in counter and the overt-act attributed against the petitioner, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners subject to certain conditions.

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 (15) days from the date on which the order copy made ready, before the learned Judicial Magistrate, Cheyyar on condition that the petitioners shall execute a bond for a sum of Rs.15,000/- (Rupees Fifteen Thousand only), each with two sureties each for a like sum to the satisfaction of the learned Magistrate concerned, and on further condition:

(c) The petitioners shall report before the respondent police daily at 10.30 a.m., for a period of two weeks and thereafter, as and when required for interrogation; (d) On breach of any of the aforesaid conditions, the learned Magistrate/Trial Court is entitled to take appropriate actions against the petitioners in accordance with law as if the conditions have been imposed and the petitioners released on bail by the learned Magistrate/Trial Court himself as laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in P.K.Shaji v. State of Kerala [(2005) AIR SCW 5560];
