Learned advocate appearing for the petitioners submits that the petitioners were falsely implicated. Learned advocate appearing for the State draws the attention of the Court to the statement recorded under Section 161 of the Criminal Procedure Code and the materials in the case diary.

Considering the gravity of the offence and the involvement of the petitioners therein and considering the fact that police complaint relates to incident two years ago, we are inclined to 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 be subject to the conditions as laid

down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and on further condition that the petitioner nos. 2 and 3 shall report before the Investigating Officer once in a fortnight till the conclusion of the investigation and petitioner no. 1 shall cooperate with the investigation till its completion and on further condition that the petitioners shall appear every day before the jurisdictional Court on and from the date fixed for appearance of the accused and in default the jurisdictional Court will pass appropriate order to secure the presence of the petitioners in Court including cancelling the anticipatory bail granted without further reference to this Court.

Prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners is allowed.
