Petitioners are accused 1 to 3, 5 and 6. They face allegations in a crime registered alleging offences punishable, inter alia, under Section 326 r/w 149 I.P.C. The allegation is that the motive for the crime is political animosity. The alleged incident took place on 18.01.08. All the petitioners along with accused 4 had come before this Court to claim anticipatory bail and this Court, by order dt.12.03.08 in B.A.No.1481 of 2008, had rejected the said prayer for anticipatory bail. Thereafter the petitioners have surrendered before the learned Magistrate on 17.03.08. They continue in custody from that date. 2. The learned counsel for the petitioners prays, the learned Public Prosecutor does not oppose the said prayer and I am satisfied, in the facts and circumstances of this case, that the petitioners can be granted regular bail now. The injury which brings the case within the sweep of Section 326 I.P.C is one of breaking a tooth, submits the learned Public Prosecutor. B.A.No.2031 of 2008 2 3. In the result, this application is allowed. The petitioners shall be released on bail on the following terms and conditions. i) The petitioners shall execute bonds for Rs.50,000/- (Rupees Fifty thousand only) each with two solvent sureties each for the like sum to the satisfaction of the learned Magistrate; ii) The petitioners shall make themselves available for interrogation before the Investigating Officer between 10 a.m and 12 noon on all Mondays and Fridays for a period of one month and thereafter as and when directed by the Investigating Officer in writing to do so.
