Learned counsel for the State on instruction submitted that there are three injured persons in this case, namely, Manoj Majhi, Sanjukta Tarai and Liza Swain and all of them have sustained simple injuries and there are no criminal antecedents against the petitioners.

Considering the submission of the learned counsel for the petitioners that the offences are triable by Magistrate and taking into account the nature of accusation against the petitioners and the nature of injuries sustained by the injured persons, 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. Violation of any of the above conditions shall entail cancellation of bail.

The ABLAPL is accordingly disposed of.
