Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that this petitioner had been a member of the Panchayat in respect of a dispute which had arisen between the informant and one Dashrath over a piece of land.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.33449 of 2019(3) dt.06-08-2019 2/2 opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail saying that the informant being an injured has himself stated in the FIR that this petitioner had given him a blow on his head by butt of the pistol. It is submitted that the assault of this petitioner caused grievous injury to the informant.

In the given facts and circumstances of the case where there is an allegation that this petitioner had assaulted the informant and the injury said to have been caused is grievous in nature, this Court is not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

This application is dismissed.

In case the petitioner surrenders in the court below and prays for regular bail within a period of four weeks from today, his prayer for regular bail shall be considered independently and without being prejudiced by the order of this Court.
