2. The case of the prosecution is that the petitioners, who are habitual offenders, are said to have threatened the general public by showing deadly weapons.

3. The learned Additional Public Prosecutor submitted that A1 has 9 previous cases against him and A2 has 7 previous cases against him and they are history sheet rowdies and they are repeatedly involved in commission of crime and hence, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor vehemently opposed the grant of bail to the petitioners.

4. The learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that a false case has been foisted against the petitioners since they had some previous cases against them.

5. Heard the learned counsel on either side and perused the material records of the case.

6. Taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case and considering the manner in which the case has been projected in this case and also taking note of the previous cases against the petitioners, this Court is inclined to grant bail to the petitioners subject to the following conditions:

7. Accordingly, the petitioners are ordered to be released on bail on their executing a bond for a sum of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees ten thousand only) with two sureties, each for a like sum to the satisfaction of the learned Judicial Magistrate, Thiruvaiyaru, and on further conditions that:- 2/4

[d] the petitioners shall not abscond either during investigation or trial. [e] On breach of any of the aforesaid conditions, the learned Magistrate/Trial Court is entitled to take appropriate action against the petitioners in accordance with law as if the conditions have been imposed and the petitioners released on bail by the learned Magistrate/Trial Court himself as laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in P.K.Shaji vs. State of Kerala [(2005)AIR SCW 5560].
