Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.5970 of 2020(2) dt.07-07-2020 2/2 wherein it appears from the First Information Report that there is a specific allegation against the petitioner of causing assault by an iron rod on the head of the informant causing grievous injury and learned Additional Sessions Judge while rejecting the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner has recorded that from perusal of the injury report he has found one stitched wound on the head of the informant allegedly caused by this petitioner, in the nature of the allegation and the gravity of the offence alleged, I am not inclined to grant privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is, thus, refused.

In case, the petitioner surrenders and prays for regular bail in the court below within a period of four weeks from today, his prayer for regular bail shall be considered on it's own merit without being prejudiced by the orders of this Court.
