CRM No.M-1845 of 2019 -2named in the FIR. At this stage, there is no opinion of the doctor declaring any injury dangerous to life.

The petitioners have already joined the investigation. Nothing is to be recovered from them. The petitioners are not required for custodial interrogation. No useful purpose will be served by sending and keeping the petitioners in custody till the disposal of the case. Keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the case and without discussing the facts of the case in minute details and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I find it a fit case, where petitioners are entitled to benefit of anticipatory bail. Therefore, the present petition is accepted and the order dated 13.12.2018 granting interim bail to the petitioners, is made absolute.
