Learned Advocate appearing for the petitioners submits that the petitioners intervened in respect of a dispute between the employees and the employer whereupon the incident occurred.

Learned Advocate appearing for the State draws the attention of the Court to the statements recorded under Section 161 of the Criminal Procedure Code and the injury reports. Considering the gravity of the offence and the involvement of the petitioners therein and considering the injury reports, we grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest, the petitioners shall be released on bail upon furnishing a Bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand Only) each with two sureties of like amount each to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer and also subject to the conditions as laid down under Section
