4. Learned Advocate appearing on behalf of the petitioner submitted that in fact the present occurrence is nothing but an accident, due to which the victim has sustained some unfortunate injuries. However, taking shelter of previous animosity, the present FIR came to be instituted. The injured victim was duly examined by the doctor and all the injuries found over her body have been said to be simple in nature. So far the allegation of inflicting knife blow is concerned, the same also does not corroborate with the injury report. The petitioner is a man of tender age, only nineteen years old, besides having fair antecedent undertakes before this Court that he will fully cooperate in the proceeding of the Court.
5. On the other hand, learned Advocate for the State vehemently opposed the pre-arrest bail application and submits that besides the allegation of misbehavior, the petitioner has brutally assaulted the victim, due to which she sustained injuries.
6. Having considered the submissions advanced by learned Advocate for the respective parties and taking note of the nature of occurrence, besides simple injury sustained to the
Patna High Court CR. MISC.
