4. Learned State counsel opposes prayer and submits that allegations are there of pelting stones on the religious procession.
5. Considering that there are general and omnibus allegations of pelting stones against all the accused persons and three of the co-accused persons have been granted anticipatory bail in the aforesaid ABAs and the petitioners have got no criminal antecedent as aforesaid, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to petitioners.
