The petitioner/A1, who apprehends arrest at the hands of the respondent police for the offences punishable under Sections 294(b), 324 and 506(ii) of IPC in Crime No.344 of 2022, seeks anticipatory bail.

2. The case of the prosecution is that the petitioner along with other accused have entered into a wordy quarrel with the defacto complainant and during the quarrel, they have attacked the defacto complainant, who sustained injuries and was admitted in the hospital. Hence, the complaint.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that he is an innocent person and he has been falsely implicated in this case. He would further submit that he is ready to abide by any stringent conditions that may be imposed by this Court and hence, he prays for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

The learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) would submit that the earlier anticipatory bail petition filed by the petitioner has been dismissed by this Court in Crl.O.P.No.25691 of 2022 dated 20.10.2022. Hence, he opposed for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 5.Taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case and also the submissions made by the learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side), this Court is inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner with certain conditions.

6. Accordingly, the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail in the event of arrest or on his appearance, within a period of fifteen days from the date on which the order copy made ready, before the learned J.M. No.II, Hosur, on condition that the petitioner shall execute a bond for a sum of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only) with two sureties each for a like sum to the satisfaction of the respondent police or the police officer who intends to arrest or to the satisfaction of the learned Magistrate concerned, failing which, the petition for anticipatory bail
