The case of the prosecution is that, due to previous enmity, the petitioner attacked the defacto complainant using hands, causing grievous injuries and abused him in filthy language. Hence, the case. 3. The learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners are innocent and they have been falsely implicated and that they have not committed any offence as alleged by the prosecution. He further submitted that the co-accused has already been released on bail by this Court in Crl.OP.No.21093 of 2026 dated 03.08.2026. Hence, he prayed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. 4. Per contra, the learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) appearing for the respondent police reiterated the prosecution case and, upon instructions, submitted that the injured has been discharged from the hospital and that the petitioner has no criminal antecedents. Hence, she opposed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 5. I have given my anxious consideration to either side submissions. 6. Considering the totality of the circumstances of the case and the fact that the injured has been discharged from the hospital, the petitioner has no https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis CRL OP No. 21594 of 2026 __________ Page3 of 5 criminal antecedents and that the co-accused has already been released on bail, this Court is inclined to enlarge the petitioners on anticipatory bail with certain conditions. 7.
