Page 2 of 3 3. Learned counsel for the petitioners, on instruction from the petitioners, submits that except the present bail application, no other bail application of the petitioners is pending in any other Court relating to the aforesaid F.I.R. 4. The allegation against the petitioners is that on 10.01.2024 at about 9.30 P.M., one T. Murali Mohan lodged a written report alleging that the complainant was conducting a land demarcation exercise in village Nangalabeda in the district of Kalahandi. During the exercise, he lodged a complaint against Gangadhar Sahu and others of sahu family those who have attacked him physically by assaulting and obstructing. Hence, the case. 5. The F.I.R. was registered on 10.01.2024. The investigation in the present case is still going on. The injury report submitted by petitioners reveals that the injured T. Muali Mohan has sustained the injury which are simple in nature. 6. Regard being had to the nature of allegation against the petitioners, the nature of injuries sustained p. 3 by the victim and the F.I.R. has been registered in the year 2024, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to petitioners. Accordingly, it is directed that in the event the petitioners are arrested, they shall be released by the Arresting Officer subject to the verification of the criminal antecedent of similar nature. The release of the petitioners shall also be subject to the conditions that petitioners shall appear before concerned Police Station on last Sunday of every month at least for a period of three months, they shall cooperate with the investigation and shall appear before the I.O. as and when their presence is required for the purpose of investigation; they shall not indulge in similar criminal offences while on bail; they shall appear before the trial Court on each and every date of posting of the case, if not presented by sufficient cause. Violation of any of the conditions shall entail cancellation of bail. 7. The ABLAPL is accordingly disposed of. (S.S.
