... Respondent/Complainant For Petitioners :

M/s.K.Abiya, Advocate.

For Respondent :

Mr.E.Antony Sahaya Prabahar, Additional Public Prosecutor PETITION FOR ANTICIPATORY BAIL Under Sec.438 of Cr.P.C PRAYER :- For Anticipatory Bail in Crime No.70/2024 on the file of the respondent police. ORDER : The Court made the following order :- The petitioners, apprehending arrest at the hands of the respondent police in connection with Crime No.70 of 2024 for the offence under Sections 147, 148, 341, 294 (b), 324 and 506(ii) of IPC, have filed this petition seeking anticipatory bail. 1/4

2.The case of the prosecution is that there was a wordy quarrel between the parties, due to which, the petitioners restrained the defacto complainant, abused him in filthy language, attacked him with deadly weapons and threatened him with dire consequences. Hence, the case.

3.The learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners did not commit any offence as alleged by the prosecution and they have been falsely implicated in this case.

4.The learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the respondent police opposes for grant of anticipatory bail on the ground that the investigation is yet to be completed. However, he fairly conceded that the injured has been discharged from the hospital.

5.Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the nature of allegation made against the petitioners and also the fact that the injured has been discharged from the hospital, this Court is inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. 6.Accordingly, this Criminal Original Petition is allowed and 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 of receipt of a copy of this order, before the Judicial Magistrate Court No.IV, Tirunelveli, on condition that the petitioners shall execute a bond for a sum of Rs.25,000/-(Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) each with 2/4
