Petitioners are accused of having committed the offences under Sections 323, 324,294(b), 354, 427 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code. They are alleged to have uttered obscene words, assaulted the victim with a stick and outraged her modesty.

Heard.

4.

The victim sustained only some minor injuries. It appears that this is only an assault case. The first petitioner is aged 65 years. Having regard to these facts, I am inclined to grant the prayer of the petitioners.

In the result, this application is allowed.

1)The petitioners shall be released on bail 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 surrender their passports before the lower court concerned or if they do not have one, they shall file affidavits to that effect within five days of their release. 3)They shall not leave India without the previous permission

B.A.No. 4547 of 2015 -: 2 :- of the court of enquiry or trial court, as the case may be. 4)They shall appear before the Investigating Officer between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. every alternate Wednesday for three months or till the final report is filed, whichever is earlier. 5)They shall not intimidate or attempt to influence the witnesses.

6)They shall not destroy or tamper with evidence. 7)They shall not get themselves involved in any other criminal case while they are on bail.

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

In case of violation of any of the above conditions, the learned Magistrate is empowered to cancel the bail in accordance with the law.
