¶22

3.The learned counsel for the petitioners would submit that the petitioners not committed any offence as alleged by the prosecution and a false case has been foisted against them. He would further submit that the co-accused has been granted bail by this Court and that the petitioners have been suffering incarceration for more than 20 days from 11.01.2022. Hence, he would pray for grant of bail to the petitioners.

¶23

4.The learned Government Advocate (Crl. Side) would raise objection stating that due to the attack made by the accused, the defacto complainant sustained cut injury in his neck and suffered 15 sutures but admits that the injured has been discharged from the hospital and the co-accused has been granted bail by this Court and that the investigation is almost completed.

¶24

Considering the above facts and circumstances of the case and the fact the injured has been discharged from the hospital and the coaccused has been granted bail by this Court and that the investigation is almost completed and also considering the period of incarceration undergone by the petitioners, this Court is inclined to grant bail to the petitioners with certain conditions.

¶27

(c) the sureties shall affix their photographs and Left Thumb Impression in the surety bond and the learned Magistrate may obtain a copy of their Aadhar Card or Bank Pass Book to ensure their identity;

¶28

(d) the petitioners shall report before the respondent police on every Sunday at 10.30 a.m. until further orders.
