2.

Heard learned counsel for the Petitioners and the learned Additional Standing Counsel. Perused the records. 3.

This is an application under Section 438 Cr.P.C. filed by the Petitioners for anticipatory bail.

4.

It is submitted by the learned counsel for the Petitioners that the allegations made in the F.I.R. against the Petitioners are false and fabricated. He also submits that the Petitioners and the informant belong to one family and due to family dispute between the Petitioners and the informant the present F.I.R. has been foisted with false allegations.

5.

Considering the nature of allegations made, gravity of the offence and the facts of the case, I am not inclined to grant

However, it is directed that in the event the Petitioners surrender before the learned J.M.F.C., Aul in G.R.Case No.566 of 2022 arising out of Rajkanika P.S.Case No.282 of 2022 within a period of three weeks from today and move for bail, they shall be released on bail on such terms and conditions as would be deemed just and proper by the learned Magistrate, but subject to verification of injury.
