4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that minor scuffle took place which has been exaggerated, there is no injury report to show that whether it was simple or grievous and finally the parties have come to terms by submitting an agreement document before the concerned court to close the case.
5. Learned APP opposes the prayer submitting that the bamboo blow was on the head which is a vital part.
6. Considering the submissions of the parties as also the fact that the injury report is not on record, the petitioner has no criminal antecedent, they are now trying to solve the problem and for this, a joint petition has been preferred before the concerned court, in that background, this Court is inclined to extend him the privilege of anticipatory bail.
