This is an application under Section 438, Cr.P.C. filed by the Petitioners for anticipatory bail, involving offence punishable under Sections 341/324/307/294/506/34, I.P.C.
4.
It is submitted by learned counsel for the Petitioners that both Petitioner and the Informant are known to each other. However, due to some misunderstanding, quarrel took place between two sides, as a result of which some persons injured. Further it is stated that the injuries sustained by the injured are simple in nature.
// 2 // Learned counsel for the State on the other hand submits that though the injuries are simple in nature, but there is criminal antecedent against Petitioner No.2.
5.
Considering the seriousness of the allegation, gravity of the offence and the facts of the case, although I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the Petitioners, however it is observed that, in the event the Petitioners surrender and move for bail before the learned S.D.J.M., Bhubaneswar in C.T. Case No.1735 of 2022 corresponding to Mancheswar P.S. Case No.92 of 2022 within a period of three weeks from today, they shall be released on bail on such terms and conditions as the learned Magistrate may deem just and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case, but subject to the further following conditions - (i) That, the Petitioners shall not indulge in similar offence again, while on bail;
(ii) They shall cooperate in the investigation by appearing before the I.O. as and when required;
