The alleged offences are under sections 143, 147, 148, 306, 308 read with section 149 IPC. Learned counsel for petitioners submitted that in an application for anticipatory bail filed by co-accused this Court made an observation that the offences involved could be treated as one falling under section 325 IPC instead of sections 326 and 308 IPC for the purpose of bail. Petitioners require only such an observation to be extended to this case also. 3. After hearing both sides, I make it clear that the observations made in paragraph 8 in the order dated 19-11- 2008 in B.A. no.7061/2008 will apply to petitioners also. Petitioners are directed to surrender before the Investigating Officer without any delay and co- operate with the investigation. Whether they surrender or not, police is at liberty to arrest them and proceed in accordance with law. With this direction, this petition is dismissed. K.HEMA, JUDGE. mn.
