MR.B.THANGA ARAVINDH, Government Advocate (Crl.Side) PETITION FOR ANTICIPATORY BAIL UNDER SEC 438 OF CR.P.C. PRAYER : FOR ANTICIPATORY BAIL IN CRIME NO.126 OF 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.126 of 2024 for the offence under Sections 147, 294(b), 323, 1/4

324 and 506(i) of IPC, have filed this petition seeking anticipatory bail. 2.The case of the prosecution is that there was a wordy quarrel between the parties, the petitioners attacked the defacto complainant with stick and hands. 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 Government Advocate (Crl.Side) appearing for the respondent police has objected for grant of anticipatory bail on the ground that the investigation is yet to be completed. He fairly conceded that the injured has been discharged from the hospital and no previous case is pending against the petitioners. 5.Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the antecedent of the petitioners and also considering 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 learned Judicial Magistrate, Sencottai, on condition that the petitioners shall execute a bond for a sum of Rs.25,000/-(Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) each with two sureties 2/4

each for a like sum to the satisfaction of the learned Magistrate concerned, and on further conditions that:
