For the Opposite Party/s :

Mr. Mustaque Alam, APP-36 ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE SUDHIR SINGH ORAL ORDER 22-11-2018 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned APP for the State.

The petitioner is apprehending his arrest in a case registered under Sections 341, 504, 307, 323 of the Indian Penal Code.

The prosecution case, in brief, is that while the informant was cooking, her husband came with Lathi and began to abuse her father. The informant's father was confined in a room. It is alleged that the informant and her father were assaulted as a result of which, they sustained bleeding injuries. It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioner that there is no allegation of tampering of witnesses alleged against the petitioner. The petitioner has been falsely implicated in the

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.62480 of 2018(3) dt.22-11-2018 2/2 present case. The alleged occurrence has taken place due to a petty reason. The petitioner is husband of the informant. He had no intention to assault his wife or his father-in-law. On behalf of the State and the informant, it is submitted that the petitioner is named in the Complaint Case/F.I.R. There is specific allegation of assault upon his wife and his father-inlaw against the petitioner. The injury report supports the allegation made in the FIR.

Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner in connection with Town P.S. Case No. 259 of 2018 is rejected. If the petitioner surrenders in the court below and seeks regular bail, the same shall be considered on its own merit without being prejudiced by this order.
