The learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) appearing for the respondent police reiterated the prosecution case and, upon instructions, submitted that the petitioners have no criminal antecedents. However, she opposed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. 6. I have given my anxious consideration to either side submissions and perused the materials available on record. 7.

Hence, this Court is inclined to enlarge the petitioners on anticipatory bail subject to certain conditions.
