2. The case of the prosecution is that on 22.07.2025 due to a previous enmity, the petitioners along with other accused said to have abused the defacto complaint, assaulted him and also threatened him, wherein he sustained injury and admitted in hospital for treatment. Hence, the present complaint was lodged against the petitioners.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioners would submit that the petitioners are ranked as A1 to A4 and they have been falsely implicated in this case. He would submit that they have not at all committed any offence as alleged by the respondent police and they are no way connected with the 2/6

occurrence and they will abide by any condition that may be imposed by this court. Hence, he prays to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

4. The learned Government Advocate (Crl. Side) appearing for respondent would submit that on the date of occurrence, due to previous enmity, the petitioners along with other accused abused him and also assaulted him, wherein he sustained injury and after taking treatment, he was discharged from hospital. He would also submit that the petitioners are arrayed as A1 to A4 and if they are released on anticipatory bail, they will tamper the evidence and hamper the investigation and investigation is almost completed. Hence, he vehemently opposed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

5. Considering the above fact and circumstances of the case and also the fact that the investigation is almost completed and injured discharged from hospital, this Court is inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners with 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 days from the date on which the order copy made ready, before the learned Judicial Magistrate No.II, Kancheepuram, and the petitioners shall also execute a bond for a sum of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only) with two sureties 3/6

each, in which, one surety must be a blood surety, 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 shall stand dismissed and on further condition that: [a] the petitioners and the sureties shall affix their photographs and Left Thumb Impression in the surety bond and the Magistrate may obtain a copy of their Aadhar card or Bank pass Book to ensure their identity.

[b] the petitioners shall report before the respondent police as and when required for interrogation.
