Learned counsel further submits that the injuries caused to the grand daughter of the informant are simple in nature and the petitioner is in custody since 04.02.2020. Having regard to the submissions made by the parties and taking into consideration the material on record and the petitioner is in custody since 04.02.2020, charge-sheet has already been submitted in the matter and this is the second attempt for bail by the petitioner, I am inclined to grant regular bail to the petitioner.

Accordingly, let the petitioner, RIJWANA KHATOON @ RIZWANA KHATOON be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Sub-Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Pupri at Sitamarhi in connection with Bajpatti PS Case No. 53/2019.
