           2.The case of the prosecution is that due to civil dispute, the petitioner abused
      the defacto complainant's husband in filthy language, attacked him and threatened
      him by showing aruval.

           4.Considering the nature of allegations that the occurrence arose on account of
      civil dispute and the injured was discharged from the hospital and the co-accused
      also enlarged on anticipatory bail, I am inclined to enlarge the petitioner on
      anticipatory bail with certain conditions:                                  
           5.Accordingly, the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail in the event of
