Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the informant very specifically has alleged that this petitioner assaulted his son by sword on his head causing injury, when the injury report records that the injury was caused by hard and blunt substance, though the injury has been found to be grievous, thus it is submitted that the allegation of assault by sword does not get corroborated by the injury report. The learned counsel for the informant opposes the bail application and submits that there is a direct allegation of assault causing grievous injury, but is not able to meet the submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner that the injury report does not corroborate the allegation as alleged in the FIR.

Further learned counsel for the petitioner submits that Manita Devi, wife of the younger brother of the petitioner, instituted Palasi P.S. Case No. 365 of 2020 against the informant's side, as such, there is a case and counter case. Learned counsel further submits that even presuming what has been alleged is true without admitting then it is the first offence of the petitioner.

Learned A.P.P. for the State vehemently opposes the

Considering the fact that the petitioner is in custody, is a person with clean antecedent and charge-sheet has been submitted and the injury does not get corroborated with the allegation in the FIR and it is the first offence of the petitioner as submitted, let the petitioner above named be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate-I, Araria in connection with Palasi P.S.
