4. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated in this case. It has further been submitted that admittedly as per the prosecution case, the petitioner was not in a fit state of mind as he was in an inebriated condition. Learned counsel for the petitioner, referring to the injury report called for by the order dated 07.05.2026, submits that although the father of the informant had sustained one penetrating wound on the epigastrium which was opined to be simple in nature and caused by a sharp edged weapon, the exploratory laparotomy subsequently performed upon him indicates that the injury was, in fact, grievous in nature. It has further been submitted that the other injured person, Mannu, sustained simple injuries.

It has also been submitted that the parties are next-door neighbours. Charge sheet has been filed and there is no allegation of tampering with the evidence against the petitioner. Lastly, it has been submitted that the petitioner has got one criminal antecedent in which he is on bail and he is in custody since 16.12.2025.

5. Learned APP for the State has vehemently opposed the prayer for bail of the petitioner.

6. Heard the parties and perused the record.
