2. The case of the prosecution is that the brother of the first accused attempted suicide and admitted in the hospital. The defacto complainant went to the hospital to see him.

Thereafter it was transferred to Sannarpatti Police Station, Dindigul.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners are innocent and they were falsely implicated in this case and they have no way connected in the above said incident. They have not committed any offence as alleged by the prosecution. Hence, he prays to grant Anticipatory Bail to the petitioners.

4. The learned Government Advocate (Crl. Side) submits that the offences are grave in nature. There is matrimonial dispute between the family members. The petitioners have no previous case. The injured was discharged from the hospital. Investigation is still pending. He vehemently opposed the 2/6

grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

5. Heard both sides and perused the materials available on record.

6. Considering the rival submissions on either side and the nature of offences charged against the petitioner, there is dispute between the family members, the injured was discharged from the hospital, there is no previous case against the petitioners and considering all other facts and circumstances of the case, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner, subject to the following conditions:
