Heard learned counsel for the Petitioners, learned Addl. Standing Counsel for the State. Perused the records. 3.

This is an application under Section 438, Cr.P.C. filed by the Petitioners for anticipatory bail, involving offence punishable under Sections 147, 148, 294, 323, 448, 380/149 of the Indian Penal Code read with Section 3 of Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act. 4.

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 J.M.F.C., Chandbali in G.R.Case No.524 of 2022 arising out of Bansada P.S.Case No.240 of 2022 within a period of three weeks from today, they shall be released on bail on such terms and
