He then submits that the petitioners have got no criminal antecedent as disclosed in paragraph No.16 of the petition.

Considering that the only allegation is made against the petitioners that they have taken away 20 to 25 villagers while interrogation was going on by the police, however, no bovine animals have been seized and the petitioners have got no criminal antecedent as disclosed in paragraph No.16 of the petition, I am inclined to provide anticipatory bail to the petitioners. 6. Accordingly, the petitioners, above named, are hereby directed to surrender before the learned Court within three weeks from today, and in the event of their surrender/arrest, the petitioners, above named, shall be released on bail, on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) each, with two sureties of the like amount each, to the satisfaction of learned S.D.J.M., Ranchi in connection with Pithoria P.S.
