4. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated. He is a person of clean antecedent. There is case and counter case. The petitioner and the informant are neighbours.
5. On the other hand, the learned APP for the State has opposed the prayer for bail.
6. The FIR has been lodged against eight named accused persons including the petitioner. The allegation against the petitioner is of giving order for assaulting the victim. There is no direct allegation against the petitioner for himself assaulting the victim. The informant and the accused persons are patidars and are closely related agnates. It further appears that there has been a long-standing land dispute between the parties which has resulted in a case and counter case arising out of the same date and place of occurrence. Considering all these facts and circumstances, I am inclined to grant privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner.
7. Let the petitioner, as named above, in the event of his arrest or surrender within four weeks from today, be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/-(Rupees
