Petitioners are accused nos. 1 and 2 in Crime No.1102/2011 of Chavara Police Station, for offences punishable under Sections 341, 324, 427, 447, 506(ii) and 34 of I.P.C and Section 27 of the Arms Act. Apprehending arrest, detention and torture at the hands of the Investigating Officer, this petition was filed seeking an order directing the respondent to release the petitioners on bail in the event of arrest with a plea that they are innocent of the allegations. Having heard either side, I find that the injury sustained to the defacto complainant is simple. In the above circumstances, this petition is allowed, directing the petitioners to surrender before the Investigating Officer, who after interrogation, with or without arrest,shall release the petitioners on bail on executing a bond for Rs.20,000/- with two solvent sureties each for like amount to the satisfaction of the Investigating Officer subject to the following conditions: 1) The petitioners shall report before the Investigating Officer as and when required.
