5. Learned APP for the State vehemently opposing the bail petition submitted that the specific overt act has been attributed against the petitioner and from perusal of the injury report it manifests that the injured person has received blow on temporal region and the injury is found grievous in nature.

6. Considering the facts and circumstances of case and the nature of the injury, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on anticipatory bail. The prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is hereby rejected.

7. However, if the petitioner surrenders before the learned Court below within six weeks from today and seeks regular bail, the learned Court below would pass order on the same day in accordance with law without being prejudiced by this order, considering the fact that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent.
