The alleged occurrence took place on 15.03.2026, but the fardbeyan was recorded, though in the DMCH, but after a delay of four days. The parties are neighbors and on account of a trifle, entered into a scuffle, resulting into some unfortunate injuries. Moreover, the petitioner bears fair antecedent and he undertakes that he will fully co-operate in the proceeding of the Court.
5. On the other hand, learned Advocate for the State and the informant opposed the pre-arrest bail application and submits that the petitioner along with other co-accused persons have brutally assaulted over the vital part of the body of the informant and his wife, which led to serious injuries, and since they were under treatment, delay has occurred.
6. Having considered the submissions advanced on behalf of the learned Advocate for the respective parties and taking note of the injury report, which does not corroborate allegation of causing sword blow, besides simple in nature; as well as the fair antecedent of the petitioner, let the petitioner above named be released on bail, in the event of his arrest or
