He further submitted that the alleged occurrence took place on 11.11.2017, however, the case was registered only on 14.11.2017 which shows that the case has been registered against the petitioners with malafide intention.

5.Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and also considering the submission made by the learned Government Advocate (Criminal Side), I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners with certain conditions.
