3. The petitioners are in custody since 11.02.2020.
4. The prosecution allegation is that on
13.01.2020 at about 7 p.m., the petitioners, due to their enmity towards the defacto complainant, had wrongfully restrained him and attacked him by beating with hands. The first petitioner has stabbed him with a knife with the intention to cause his death and thereby the petitioners have committed the aforesaid offences.
5. According to the learned counsel for the petitioners, they have been falsely implicated in the case and as a result they are undergoing incarceration for the last so many days.
6. The learned Public Prosecutor has submitted that the investigation of the case is well in progress. In fact it is nearing completion.
7. Considering the nature of the accusations levelled against these petitioners (accused 1 and 2) the present stage of investigation as well the other
facts and circumstances involved in this case, I think
that this petition can be allowed. Therefore, this application is allowed subject to the following conditions:
(i) The petitioners shall be released on bail on
each of them executing a bond for a sum of Rs.50,000/- (Rupees fifty thousand only) with two solvent sureties for the like sum each to the satisfaction of the court having jurisdiction.
(ii) The petitioners shall appear before the Investigating Officer for interrogation as and when required by him, in writing.
(iii) The petitioners shall not directly or
indirectly, make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing such facts to the court or to any police officer or tamper with the evidence.
(iv) The petitioners shall not commit any offence while on bail. In case of violation of any of the above conditions, the learned Magistrate is empowered to cancel the bail in accordance with the law. Sd/- SHIRCY V. JUDGE sb
