So far as the petitioner nos.1 and 3 are concerned, the learned counsel for the petitioner nos.1 and 3 submits that the allegation against the petitioner nos.1 and 3 is that the petitioner nos.1 and 3 in furtherance of common intention with the co-accused persons assaulted the husband and son of the informant and also outrated her modesty and used the word daain and attempted to murder the informant and her family members. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner nos.1 and 3 are all false and the alleged injuries are simple in nature. It is then submitted that the petitioner nos.1 and 3 undertake to furnish sufficient security including cash security and also undertake to cooperate with the investigation of the case and further undertake that they will not annoy or disturb the informant in any manner during the pendency of the case. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner nos.1 and 3 be given the privilege of anticipatory bail. 6. Learned Addl. P.P. opposes the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail. 7. Considering the submissions of the counsels and the fact as discussed above, I am of the opinion that it is a fit case where the abovenamed petitioner nos.1 and 3 be given the privilege of anticipatory bail.
