O R D E R
Application for anticipatory bail. The petitioners are
accused 2 to 4. Altogether there are seven accused persons.
First accused is allegedly the principal offender. The accused
faces allegations under Section 420 I.P.C.
2. I have already adverted to the relevant facts in detail
while considering the application for anticipatory bail of the fifth
accused. As per order dated 25/10/2007 in B.A.No.6449/07, the
said accused was granted anticipatory bail. This order must be
read in continuation of that order. I am not hence adverting to
facts in greater detail in this order.
3. The learned counsel for the petitioners prays, the
learned Public Prosecutor does not oppose the said prayer and I
am satisfied that the petitioners can be granted anticipatory bail
subject to identical terms and conditions.
4. In the result, this petition is allowed. Following
directions are issued under Section 438 Cr.P.C in favour of the
petitioners.
i) Petitioners shall surrender before the learned
Magistrate having jurisdiction at 11 a.m on 26/11/2007. They

shall be released on regular bail on condition that they execute
bonds for Rs.25,000/-(Rupees twenty five thousand only) each
with two solvent sureties each for the like sum to the satisfaction
of the learned Magistrate.
ii) The petitioners shall make themselves available for
interrogation before the investigating officer between 10 a.m
and 1 p.m on 27/11/2007 and 28/11/2007 and thereafter as and
when directed by the investigating officer in writing to do so.
(iii) If the petitioners do not appear before the learned
Magistrate as directed in clause (i), directions issued above shall
thereafter stand revoked and the police shall be at liberty to
arrest the petitioners and deal with them in accordance with law,
as if these directions were not issued at all.
(iv) If they were arrested prior to 26/11/2007, they shall
be released from custody on their executing a bond for
Rs.25,000/- (Rupees twenty five thousand only) without any
sureties, undertaking to appear before the learned Magistrate on
26/11/2007.
