4. Learned counsel for the petitioners would submit that A1 was granted anticipatory bail by the trial Court on medical grounds. Except omnibus allegations, there are no specific allegations made against the petitioners herein. No wound certificate is there to support the version of the victim that they suffered injuries. Learned counsel for the petitioners further would submit that most of the investigation might have been completed by this time and prays for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners.
