Mr. Manish Chandra Gandhi, Advocate ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ASHWANI KUMAR SINGH ORAL ORDER 01-09-2020 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State and learned counsel for the informant via video conferencing.

The petitioner seeks pre-arrest bail in connection with Jandaha P.S. Case No.220 of 2019 registered under Sections 341, 323, 307, 504 and 506 of the Indian Penal Code. Considering the specific allegation made against the petitioner that he assaulted with iron rod on the head of the informant Guriya Devi causing her grievous injury, I am not inclined to grant him pre-arrest bail. The application is rejected. Since the court proceedings are being conducted through virtual mode and normal court functioning has not been restored till date, it is considered appropriate to adopt the

2/2 following procedure for communication of the present order:- (i) The order, which has been dictated during the course of proceeding of the virtual court, shall be communicated to me on my email by the Sr.

Secretary.

(ii) The corrected copy of the order shall be transmitted by me from my email id to the Sr. Secretary, which shall be treated to be an authentic copy of the order passed by this Court in the present proceeding. (iii) Hard copy of the order duly signed by me shall be preserved in my residential office for documentation and future use, if any.

(iv) Let a copy of the order be sent to Mr. Mukesh Kumar, learned counsel for the petitioner also on his email.

(v) Let steps be taken by the Sr. Secretary/registry for up-loading of the present order without compromising with the norms of social distancing. kanchan/- (Ashwani Kumar Singh, J) U T
