In as much as this court had granted anticipatory bail to the petitioners in similar crimes, I see no reason for the petitioners herein should be treated differently. Accordingly, a direction is issued to the officer-in-charge of the police station concerned to release the petitioners on bail for a period of one month in the event of their arrest in connection with the above case on each of them executing a bond for Rs.10,000/- (Rupees ten thousand only) with two solvent sureties each for the like amount to the satisfaction to the said officer and subject to the following conditions: a. Petitioners shall report before the Investigating Officer between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. on all Wednesdays. b. Petitioners shall make themselves available for interrogation as and when required by the Investigating Officer. BA.1206/07 : 2 : c. Petitioners shall not influence or intimidate the prosecution witnesses nor shall they attempt to tamper with the evidence for the prosecution. d. Petitioners shall not commit any offence while on bail. e. Petitioners shall surrender before the Magistrate concerned and seek regular bail in the meanwhile. If the petitioners commit breach of any of the above conditions, the bail granted to them shall be liable to be cancelled. This application is allowed as above. (V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE) aks
