5. Taking into account the facts and circumstances of the case, the nature of the offence, the injury sustained and other circumstances, I am of the view that the first accused/first petitioner is not entitled to the discretionary relief under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. As regards the other accused, I am of the view that anticipatory bail can be granted to them. There will be a direction that in the event of the arrest of petitioners 2, 3 and 4/accused Nos.3, 4 and 2, the officer in charge of the police station shall release them on bail on their executing bond for Rupees Ten thousand each with two solvent sureties for the like amount to the satisfaction of the officer concerned, subject to the following conditions:

a) Petitioners 2, 3 and 4/accused Nos.3, 4 and 2 shall report before the investigating officer between 9 A.M. and 11 A.M. on alternate Mondays, till the final report is filed or until further orders;

b) Petitioners 2, 3 and 4/accused Nos.3, 4 and 2 shall appear before the investigating officer for interrogation as and when required;

c) Petitioners 2, 3 and 4/accused Nos.3, 4 and 2 shall not try to influence the prosecution witnesses or tamper with the evidence;
