Considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioners that the petitioners and the informant are neighbours and the offences are triable by Magistrate and that there are no such materials to attract the ingredients of offence under section 307 of the Indian Penal Code and the fact that the injured has sustained simple injury and on hearing the learned counsel for the State, I am inclined to release the petitioners on anticipatory bail and accordingly, this Court directs that in the event of arrest of the petitioners in connection with the aforesaid case, they shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.

10,000/-(Rupees ten thousand) each with two sureties each for the like amount to the satisfaction of the arresting officer with further conditions that they shall make themselves available for interrogation by the I.O. as and when required and they shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing any facts to the Courts or to the investigating Officer.
