Learned advocate appearing for the petitioners submits that, in fact, out of the incident petitioner received injuries. He refers to the injury report of the petitioners. He submits that the petitioners lodged police complaint on July 18, 2022. Learned advocate appearing for the State draws the attention of the Court to the injury report of the two victims and the statement of the injured recorded under Section 161 of the Criminal Procedure Code.

The injured suffered simple injuries.

There is a counter police complaint lodged at the behest of the petitioners.

In such circumstances, 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 no. 1 shall report before the Investigating Officer once in a month till the conclusion of the investigation and petitioner no. 2 shall cooperate with the investigation till its completion and on further condition that the petitioners shall appear on every date 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. CRM (A) 3576 of 2022 is disposed of.
