Considering that the name of the petitioners have been taken by some unknown persons and the name of the person who has taken the name of the petitioners has not been disclosed in in the FIR and in identical situation, the other accused persons have been granted anticipatory bail as aforesaid, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to petitioners.
