Victims in the present case are the father-in-law and wife of accused No.1. It appears that there is a dispute between accused No.1 and his wife, who is one of the alleged victims in the present case.

Petitioners are persons without any criminal antecedents and they have undertaken to cooperate with the police for the purpose of investigation. Learned counsel for respondent No.2 has expressed an apprehension that the petitioners may indulge in committing similar offences in future. Under the circumstances, I am of the opinion that prayer made by the petitioners for grant of anticipatory bail needs to be answered affirmatively, subject to appropriate conditions. Accordingly, the following order:- 5. The petition is allowed. The respondent - Police or any other police in the State of Karnataka are directed to release the petitioners in the event of their arrest in Crime No.110/2026 registered by Bajpe Police Station, Mangaluru City, for the offences punishable under Sections 115(2), 118, 351(2), 352 and 190 of BNS, 2023, subject to the following conditions: 1.
