2. The case of the prosecution is that the petitioner and the other accused have abused the de-facto complainant in filthy language and also assaulted him. Hence, the complaint.
3. Heard the learned counsel on either side, and perused the material records of the case.
4. Considering the nature of the allegations in this case that the petitioner along with the other accused formed unruly mob and tried to threaten and attack the defacto complainant, I am inclined to enlarge the petitioners on anticipatory bail with certain conditions.
5. Accordingly, the petitioners are ordered to be released on bail in the event of their arrest or on their appearance, within a period of fifteen days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, before the learned Judicial Magistrate, Karaikudi, Sivagangai District, on condition that the petitioners shall execute a bond for a sum of Rs.10,000/-(Rupees Ten Thousand only) with two common sureties, each for a like sum to the satisfaction of the respondent Police or to the Police Officer, who intends to arrest or to the satisfaction of the learned Magistrate concerned and on further conditions that:
