Even according to the case of prosecution they had attacked the deceased with stones and sticks and caused his death. Further it is case of 302 of IPC and custodial interrogation of the petitioners is very much required in this case. That apart earlier application for anticipatory bail was dismissed by this Court on 18.05.2023 and there is no change in circumstances of the case to consider the present petition for bail, hence this court is not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

5. In the result the petition stands dismissed. sd/- 23/06/2023 / TRUE COPY / /07/2023 Sub-Assistant Registrar (C.S.) Madurai Bench of Madras High Court, Madurai - 625 023.
