¶5Heard both sides and perused the materials available on record.

¶6Considering the facts and circumstances of this case, the submissions made by the learned counsel appearing on either side, the injured was discharged from hospital and the custodial interrogation of the petitioners is not necessary, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners, with certain conditions.

¶7Accordingly, the petitioners are ordered to be released on bail in the event of arrest or on their appearance, within a period of fifteen (15) days from the date on which the order copy made ready, before the learned Judicial Magistrate, Chinnasalem, Kallakurichi District, on condition that the each of the petitioner shall execute a bond for a sum of Rs.15,000/- (Rupees Fifteen Thousand only) with two sureties each for a like sum to the satisfaction of the learned Magistrate concerned and on further condition that: [a] the petitioners shall report before the respondent police daily at 10.30 am., for a period two weeks and thereafter as and when required for interrogation.
