1. Petitioners are the accused in Crime No.666 of 2017 of Nooranadu Police Station for offence punishable under section 4(a) of the Explosive Substances Act r/w 34 of the Indian Penal Code .
2. According to the prosecution, on an allegation that food served by the de facto complainant was not of good quality, petitioners herein returned to the shop on 21.05.2017 at 10.30p.m. armed with petrol bomb and hurled it at the shop. It caused an explosion. Petitioners were arrested on 23.05.2017 and are in custody. They seek bail.
