The case of the prosecution is that the petitioners along with some others assaulted the defacto complainant, due to sudden misunderstanding and they attacked each other. Hence, the case.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that this is a case of case and case in counter. There are about seven accused and these petitioners are arrayed as A2 and A3. He further submitted that they are ready to abide by any conditions that may be imposed by this Court and ready to co-operate with the investigation. Hence, he prayed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. 4. The learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) appearing for the respondent police reiterated the prosecution case and submitted that injured has been discharged from hospital. However, he opposed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. 5. At this juncture, the learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners were also sustained injuries, took treatment and discharged from hospital. 6. I have given my anxious consideration to either side submissions and perused the materials available on record. __________ Page2 of 5 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis CRL OP No. 15480 of 2026

7. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, taking note of the submissions made by the learned counsel on both sides, taking into consideration of the fact that this is a case of case and case in counter, upon the fact that the injured person got discharged from hospital and upon the further fact that the 2nd petitioner was also sustained injuries and subsequently discharged, this Court is of the firm view that custodial interrogation of the petitioners is not required. Hence, this Court is inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner, subject to certain conditions. 8. Accordingly, 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 is made ready, before the learned Judicial Magistrate-I, Thiruvallur, on condition that the petitioners shall execute a separate bond for a sum of Rs.20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand only), with two sureties each, for a like sum to the satisfaction of the learned Magistrate concerned, and on further conditions: (a) If the petitioners fails to surrender before the concerned learned Magistrate within a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, this order shall stand automatically cancelled; (b) The sureties shall affix their photographs and left thumb impression in the application for surety ship (Judicial Form __________ Page3 of 5 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis
