Petitioners are alleged to have committed the offences punishable under sections 324 & 326 read with Sec. 34 of the IPC. 2. I have perused the first investigation report. The defacto complainant has sustained injuries, which are of a serious nature that has attracted Section 326. The benevolent provision of Section 438 cannot be invoked in cases of this nature and it is not intended to circumvent the law and procedure. Therefore the anticipatory bail application is dismissed.
