                    1.

Learned Counsel for the petitioners submits a

public demonstration took place against implementation of

Citizenship Amendment Act. They have been falsely implicated.

Co-accused have been granted anticipatory bail. They pray for

similar relief.

2. Learned Counsel for the State opposes the prayer

for anticipatory bail.

3. We have considered the materials on record.

Allegations against the petitioners are general and omnibus.
2

Co-accused have been granted anticipatory bail. Accordingly

we are inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

4. Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest the

petitioners shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of

Rs.10,000/- each, with two sureties of like amount each, to the

satisfaction of the arresting officer and also subject to the

conditions as laid down under Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya

Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and on condition that they shall

appear before the jurisdictional court and pray for regular bail

within a period of four weeks from date.

5. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, allowed.
