2.

The applicants were earlier granted anticipatory bail by this Court in B.A.No.4063 of 2020 dated 23.07.2020. There were certain conditions

imposed to the effect that they shall not get involved in any offences during the bail period. However, the applicants got involved in another Crime

No.518 of 2020 of the same Police Station, for having allegedly committed offences punishable under Sections 143, 147, 148, 341, 324, 308 read with

Section 149 of the IPC. And, therefore, the bail granted to them stood cancelled by the jurisdictional court. The applicants have been in custody since

05.11.2020. They pray that they may be granted bail and they are willing to co-operate with the investigation and shall not commit any breach of the

conditions that was imposed. Considering the fact that the applicants have been in custody since 05.11.2020, they may be granted bail on stringent

conditions.

In the result, the application is allowed and the applicants are directed to be released on bail on the execution of bonds for Rs.50,000/-(Rupees Fifty

thousand only), each with two solvent sureties, each for the like amount to the satisfaction of the jurisdictional court and on following further

In case of breach of any of the bail conditions, the prosecution shall be at liberty to apply for cancellation of the bail before the jurisdictional court.

The bail application is allowed.
