Subject to such undertaking, the application is taken up for hearing through video conference. Having considered the materials on record and keeping in mind the extent of complicity of the petitioners in the alleged crime and as the victim has already been recovered and the principal accused being on regular bail, we are inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest, the petitioners 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 be subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure.

The application for anticipatory bail and connected application, are, thus, disposed of.
