Due to matrimonial dispute, the petitioners said to have abused the defacto complainant in filthy language and assaulted her with hands and caused injuries. Hence, the complaint. 3.The learned counsel for the petitioners would submit that the petitioners are innocents and they have not committed any offence as alleged by the prosecution. He would further submit that the injured was discharged from the hospital. Hence, he prays for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners. 4.The learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) would submit that the injured 2/5

was discharge from the hospital. But, however, the investigation is still pending. Hence, he strongly opposed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. 5.Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and also considering the fact that the injured was discharged from the hospital, this Court is inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners with certain conditions. 6.Accordingly, the petitioners are ordered to be released on bail in the event of their arrest or their appearance, within a period of fifteen days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, before the Judicial Magistrate Court, Periyakulam, on condition that the petitioners shall execute a bond for a sum of Rs.
