3. 2nd, 3rd & 4th petitioners (A2 to A4) shall not influence or intimidate the prosecution witnesses nor shall they attempt to tamper with the evidence for the prosecution.

4. 2nd, 3rd & 4th petitioners (A2 to A4) shall not commit any offence while on bail. If the petitioners commit breach of any of the above conditions, the bail granted to them shall be liable to be cancelled.

This application is allowed in part as above.
