He has sustained various injuries. The petitioners are absconding. Therefore, they could not be arrested. They also belong to different unions, affiliated to political parties. 2. After hearing both sides, I direct the petitioners to surrender before the Investigating Officer, who is investigating Crime No.338/2006 of Vellarada Police Station, on 18/10/2006, between 9.30 a.m and 10 a.m. 3.
