For the Petitioner/s :

Mr.Subhash Kumar Jha, Advocate For the Opposite Party/s :

Mr.Uday Chand Prasad, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ASHOK KUMAR PANDEY ORAL ORDER 20-08-2025 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned APP for the State.

2. The petitioner has prayed for regular bail in a case registered for the offence punishable under sections 341, 337, 324, 307, 354, 379, 504 and 506/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

3. The case of the prosecution in short is that the petitioner has assaulted with 'garasa on the head of the informant. From perusal of the injury report, it is clear that the doctor has opined two injuries on the person of the informant. Injury no. 1 has been opined to be dangerous to life caused by sharp weapon and injury no. 2 has been described as simple in nature, also caused by sharp weapon.

4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated in connection with the present case. It is further submitted that

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.41168 of 2025(4) dt.20-08-2025 2/2 there is also a counter version of this case which has been filed by the petitioner himself at PMCH. He has also sustained injuries but the prosecution has not brought those injuries on record. It is further contended that under law there are only two categories of injuries, namely simple and grievous. However in the present case, the doctor has introduced a new category by describing injury no. 1 as "dangerous to life caused by sharp weapon, which casts a serious doubt on the veracity of the injury report. It is also urged that the petitioner has been in judicial custody since 20.02.2025.

5. Learned APP appearing for the state has opposed the prayer of regular bail.

6. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case, this court is inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. The above named petitioner is directed to be released on bail in connection with Bhagwanpur P.S. Case No. 183 of 2023 on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned ACJM- 6th, Vaishali at Hajipur.
