2.The case of the prosecution is that there was a wordy quarrel between the parties, the petitioners kidnapped the de-facto complainant by using their car and attacked him with iron rod and also 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. Hence, he prays for anticipatory bail. 4.The learned Government Advocate(Crl.Side) would submit that the injured was discharged from the hospital and no previous case is pending against the petitioners. However, considering the gravity of offence, he strongly opposed to grant anticipatory bail. 5.Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and also considering the fact that the injured was already discharged from the hospital and also the fact that the petitioners are not having any bad antecedents, this Court is inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners with certain conditions. 6.
