4.Considering the nature of allegations in this case that there was no serious injury for the defacto complainant in the instant case and considering the fact that the petitioners are in judicial custody from 27.08.2024, I am inclined to enlarge the petitioners on bail with certain conditions.

5.Accordingly, this Criminal Original Petition is allowed and the petitioners are ordered to be released on bail, on executing a bond for a sum of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only) each with two sureties each for a like sum to the satisfaction of the learned Judicial Magistrate No.II, Nagercoil. 2/5
