ORDER

¶19

The petitioners, who apprehend arrest for the alleged offence under

¶20

Section 296(b), 115(2) 118(1) of BNS Act, 2023 in Crime No.214 of 2025,

¶21

on the file of the respondent police seek anticipatory bail.

¶22

The allegation against the petitioners is that, due to previous

¶23

enmity, the petitioners picked a quarrel with the defacto complainant, abused

¶24

and attacked him, and caused injuries. Hence, the present complaint.

¶25

The learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submitted that the

¶26

petitioners have not committed any such offence as alleged by the prosecution and that they are ready to abide by any stringent conditions that may be imposed by this Court. He further submitted that it is a case and counter case. Hence, he prayed for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

¶27

The learned Government Advocate (Crl. Side) appearing for the

¶28

respondent police reiterated the prosecution case and reported that it is a

¶30

¶31

case and counter case. Hence, he opposed the grant of anticipatory bail to the

¶33

petitioners.

¶34

Heard both sides and perused the materials available on record.

¶35

Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and it is a case

¶36

and counter case, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners,

¶37

subject to certain conditions:

¶38

Accordingly, the petitioners are ordered to be released on bail in the

¶39

event of arrest or on their appearance within a period of fifteen (15) days

from the date on which the order copy made, before the learned Judicial Magistrate-V, Vellore on condition that each of the petitioners shall execute separate bonds for a sum of Rs.20,000/- (Rupees Twenty

learned Magistrate concerned, and on further condition that:
