The allegation is that the petitioners and other poured kerosene on the complainant and tried to kill her by setting fire to her. The victim survived from the burns and gave a statement before the learned Magistrate stating that the accused were not responsible for commission of offence and she received burns by accidentally falling kerosene on her. Since the victim is safe for the present and in view of her statement given before the learned Magistrate, I am inclined to extend the benefit of anticipatory bail to the petitioners. Therefore the petitioners are directed to surrender themselves before the learned Judicial First Class Magistrate, Jedcherla and on such surrender the learned Magistrate shall enlarge them on bail on each of them executing a bond for Rs.10,000/- together with two sureties each in a like sum to the satisfaction of the said court.
