¶19

The learned counsel for the petitioners would submit that the petitioners have not committed any offence as alleged by the prosecution. He would further submit that already, this Court, by an order dated 27.01.2022 in Crl.O.P.No.1370 of 2022, granted anticipatory bail to the petitioners with certain conditions. Therefore, he prays to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

¶20

The learned Government Advocate (Crl.side) also confirmed the above said submission. However, he would submit that this Court may impose the same condition as directed by this Court in the earlier order.

¶21

Considering the above fact and circumstances of the case, this Court is inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners with certain conditions.

¶22

Accordingly, the petitioners are ordered to be released on bail in the event of arrest or on their appearance, within a period of fifteen days from the date on which the order copy made ready, before the learned Principal District Judge, Thiruvarur, on condition that the petitioners shall execute a bond for a sum of Rs.10,000/(Rupees Ten Thousand only) each, with two sureties each for a like sum to the satisfaction of the respondent police or the police officer who intends to arrest or to the satisfaction of the learned Magistrate concerned, failing which, the petition for anticipatory bail shall stand dismissed and on further condition that:
