He further submits that, in fact, on account of some trifling issue, free fight took place wherein the son of the informant has sustained some injuries. However, all the injuries have been found to be simple in nature as is evident from the injury report contained in Annexure-2 to the bail petition. He next submits that both the petitioner and the informant are neighbours and the petitioner undertakes that he would not indulge in such type of activities/occurrence in future and the repetition of any such kind of incidence would certainly give liberty to the informant to file an application for cancellation of bail.
He lastly submits that the petitioner has absolutely fair antecedent and he will fully cooperate in the investigation. On the other hand, learned counsel for the State opposes the pre-arrest bail application of the petitioner and submits that the injury report clearly suggests that the son of the informant sustained four injuries though all are simple in nature.
