Per contra, learned HCGP has opposed the petition on the ground that charge sheet is yet to be filed. 6. In the first information, it is averred that while the first informant was on patrolling duty on 02.04.2025, he received a credible information that about 6 to 7 unknown persons had gathered near Chikkanahalli, Hemagiri Avenue Road and were making attempts to rob the public. Immediately, first informant and his staff went to the said spot and apprehended six persons from the spot, who are arraigned as accused Nos.1 to 6 in the FIR. Undisputedly, petitioners do not have any criminal antecedents and they are in custody for the last more than two months. The alleged offences are not punishable with death or life imprisonment. Major portion of the investigation in the case is already completed. Under the circumstances, I am of the opinion that the prayer made by the petitioners for grant of regular bail needs to be answered affirmatively. Accordingly, the following order:- 7. The petition is allowed. The petitioner is directed to be enlarged on bail in Crime No.111/2025 registered by Attibele Police Station, Bengaluru, for the offences punishable under - 5 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:20150 CRL.P No. 6339 of 2025 Sections 310(4) and 310(5) of BNS, 2023, subject to the following conditions: a) Petitioners shall execute a personal bond for a sum of Rs.1,00,000/- each with two sureties for the likesum, to the satisfaction of the jurisdictional Court; b) The petitioners shall appear regularly on all the dates of hearing before the Trial Court unless the Trial Court exempts their appearance for valid reasons; c) The petitioners shall not directly or indirectly threaten or tamper with the prosecution witnesses; d) The petitioners shall not involve in similar offences in future; e) The petitioners shall not leave the jurisdiction of the Trial Court without permission of the said Court until the case registered against them is disposed off.
