Considering the fact that the petitioner can justifiably claim parity with the other co-accused who was granted anticipatory bail by this Court in CRM 5734 of 2021 dated December 23, 2021, 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 subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and with a further condition that the petitioners shall appear before the Court below and pray for regular bail within four weeks from date and on further condition that the petitioners shall appear before the Court below on every date fixed for hearing.

The prayer for anticipatory bail is allowed.

CRM 5452 of 2021 is disposed of.
