O R D E R The petitioners, who apprehend arrest at the hands of the respondent police for the offences punishable under Sections 296(b), 351(2), 188(1), 329(4) of BNS in Crime No.162 of 2025, on the file of the respondent Police, seek anticipatory bail.

¶2The case of the prosecution is that one R.Sivaraman lodged a complaint before the respondent police stating that the petitioners herein trespassed into his residence, abused and attacked him using cooking utensils, thereby the defacto complainant sustained injuries. Hence, this case.

¶3The learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners herein are relatives of one Asina, the defacto complainant had developed friendship with said Asina and thereafter, taken obscene video of her and forcibly had sexual intercourse with her by threatening that he will upload the obscene video of her in the social media. He further stated there is a counter case as against the defacto complainant lodged by the said Asina and the petitioners are ready to abide by any conditions that may be imposed by this Court and sought for anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

¶4The learned Government Advocate (Crl. Side) appearing for the respondent police while opposing for granting anticipatory bail to the petitioner, reiterated the prosecution case and submitted that the defacto complainant was discharged from the hospital and subsequently being arrested and presently in prison and there is a case in counter.

¶5Heard the learned counsels and perused the materials available on record.

¶6Considering the facts of the case and the injured in this crime was already discharged from the hospital and there is a case in counter, this Court is inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners with certain conditions.
