the State.
The petitioners seek bail in anticipation of their
arrest in connection with Shikarpur P. S. Case No. 306 of 2018 dated 19.08.2018 instituted for the offences under Sections 147, 341, 323, 324, 354, 354(B), 379, 448 and 504 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 27 of the Arms Act.

alleged to have abused and assaulted the informant and other members of his family.

The petitioners do not have criminal antecedents.
