The petitioner has clean antecedent. On these grounds, the petitioner seeks to be released on pre-arrest bail.

6. Having considered the rival submissions made on behalf of the parties, as well as, having perused the impugned order, wherein, it has been recorded that the injury report is reserved and in absence of specific report to verify, as to whether, the injury is grievous or simple in nature, the learned District Court is directed to call for the injury report and if the learned District Court finds that the injury is simple in nature then in that case the petitioner deserves to be released on prearrest bail on such terms and conditions, which the learned District Court deems it fit and proper, and if the same comes out to be grevious in nature then in that case the petitioner should be taken into custody, forthwith.
