O R D E R

Petition filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C.

2.

Petitioners are alleged to have committed the offences under Sections 341, 294(b), 323, 324, 326, 427 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code. 3.

The prosecution case is that they along with the co-accused assaulted the victim with a stone causing him fracture of his bones.

4.

Heard.

5.

The learned counsel submits that the facts of the case indicate that no weapon was used for the assault. I have perused the First Information Statement. It is specifically stated that the assault was with hands. But the first informant gave a further statement making improvements upon his earlier version. In this version he disclosed that the assailant used a stone. This is a very suspicious circumstance. Having regard to this fact I am inclined to grant the prayer of the petitioners for anticipatory bail.

In the result, this application is allowed.

B.A. No.4195 of 2015 1.

The petitioners shall be released on bail after interrogation on their executing a bond for Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty five thousand only) each with two solvent sureties each for the like sum if they are arrested by the police in connection with this case.

2.

They shall appear before the investigating officer between 10 a.m to 11 a.m every Wednesday for four months or till the final report is filed whichever is earlier. 3.

They shall not get themselves involved in any other criminal case while they are on bail.

4.

They shall not intimidate or attempt to influence the witnesses.

5.

They shall not destroy or tamper with the evidence. In case of violation of any of the above conditions, the learned Magistrate is empowered to cancel the bail in accordance with law.

If the petitioners surrender before the Magistrate this order is not applicable and the learned Magistrate may pass appropriate orders.
