Learned counsel for the Petitioners further submitted that the matter has been amicably settled in the meantime between the parties.

Learned counsel for the State on the other hand objected to the release of the Petitioners on bail on the ground of gravity and seriousness of the allegation. He further submitted that the investigation is still on, therefore, the release of the Petitioners at this juncture would cause delay in conclusion of the investigation. 6. Learned counsel for the Petitioners, at the outset, submitted that the Petitioners do not want to press this bail application and seek liberty to surrender before the court below and move an application for bail. 7. Considering such submissions, the Petitioners are permitted to surrender before the learned court in seisin over the matter within a period of three weeks from today and move an application for bail. In such eventuality, learned court in seisin over the matter shall release the Petitioners on bail subject to such terms and conditions as the learned Magistrate may deem just and proper. Violation of any of the terms and conditions shall entail cancellation of the bail. 8. It is further directed that the bail granted to the Petitioners shall be subject to the verification of their criminal antecedent and Page 3 of 3. the injury report. In the event, the Petitioners are having any criminal antecedent or the injured has sustained any grievous injury, then this order shall stand automatically revoked. 9.
