6. Considering the rival submissions made by the learned counsel on either side, nature of offence, and considering the fact that the investigation might have been completed and though the petitioners have previous cases, in all cases the petitioners were granted bail and also considering the period of incarceration undergone by the petitioners, this Court is inclined to grant bail to the petitioners subject to the following conditions:
