In the facts and circumstances of this case, considering the aforesaid submissions, the pleas taken by the petitioner in this petition, coupled with the nature of injuries of the injured persons as stated above and mainly the delay of 8 days on the part of the informant in lodging the FIR with regard to the alleged occurrence, in my opinion, it is a fit case to grant the relief of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, let the petitioner named-above, in the event of his arrest or surrender before the learned Court below within a period of six weeks from today, be released on anticipatory bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Court concerned in connection with Pathkhauli P.S.
