2. The case of the prosecution is that there was a dispute between the petitioners and the defacto complainant, as a result of which, there was a wordy quarrel, the petitioners had abused the defacto complainant in filthy language and attacked her with iron rod, due to which, she sustained injuries. Hence, the complaint.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners are innocent persons and they have not committed any offence as alleged by the prosecution. He further submitted that the petitioners are ready and willing to abide by any stringent conditions that may be imposed by this Court. Hence, he seeks for grant of anticipatory bail to 2/6

the petitioners.
