Admittedly, no injury was caused to any Criminal Misc. -M No. 27502 of 2008 (O&M) -3- of the police official. All the petitioners are in custody since 9.9.2008. Challan has already been presented.

In the given facts and circumstances and without commenting on the merits of this case, all the petitioners are ordered to be released on bail on their furnishing bail/surety bonds to the satisfaction of the trial court. All the three Criminal Misc. petitions are disposed of. ( Pritam Pal ) February 26 2009 Judge 'dalbir'
