...for the State.

Considering the materials available with the record, nature and extent of involvement of the petitioners in the commission of the alleged offence and having regard to the injury reports produced before us, we are of the opinion that custodial interrogation of the petitioners may not be necessary. Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest, the petitioners shall be released on anticipatory bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only) each, with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the arresting officer and subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973.

The petitioners shall meet the Investigating Officer of this case once in a week until further order and they shall co-operate with the investigation, failing which this order shall stand recalled. The application for anticipatory bail is allowed. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance of all requisite formalities.
