O R D E R

The petitioners who apprehends arrest in the hands of the respondent police for the offences punishable under Sections 189(2), 329(3),296(b),324(4), 126(2) and 351(2) of B.N.S.2023 in connection with the Cr. No.447 of 2025 , seek anticipatory bail.

2. The case of the prosecution is that there was land dispute between the petitioners and the defacto complainant, due to which there was a wordy quarrel between them. Hence the case.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioners would contend that the respondent police have registered a false case as against the petitioners for the offence under Sections 189(2), 329(3),296(b),324(4), 126(2) and 351(2) of B.N.S.2023 He further submitted that the custodial interrogation is not required in this case and hence prayed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

5. The learned Government Advocate (Criminal Side) appearing for the respondent police would submit that there was land dispute between the petitioners and the defacto complainant, due to which there was a wordy quarrel between them. He further submitted that there is no previous cases pending against the petitioners. However, he strongly opposed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

6. Heard both sides and perused the materials available on record.

7. Considering the rival submissions on either side; the nature of

offences; the fact that there is no previous cases pending against the petitioners and also considering all others factors this petitioners, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners subject to the following conditions.

8. Accordingly, the petitioners are ordered to be released on bail in the event of arrest or on her appearance, within a period of fifteen days from the date on which the order copy made ready, before the Judicial Judicial Magistrate No.II, Pollachi on condition that the petitioners shall execute a bond for a sum of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only) each with two sureties each for a like sum to the satisfaction of the learned Magistrate concerned and on further condition that:
