1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned APP for the State.

2. The petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection with Lachhuar P.S. Case no.109 of 2024 registered under sections 307, 324, 324 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code.

3. The allegation against the petitioner is that when the informant's brother went out to give milk on motorcycle, the petitioner along with others shot an arrow upon him which passed through his thigh and hit him in his stomach.

4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the case. The

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.75366 of 2024(4) dt.28-04-2025 2/3 allegations made in the F.I.R is that an arrow was shot with an intention to kill him which entered the stomach of the victim through his thigh, however, the injury report annexed as Annexure-2 to the application issued by the Government Primary Health Center indicates that there is only one injury on the right thigh, which was simple in nature and hence, it does not corroborate allegations made by the informant. The injury report of the private hospital is also a part of the case diary which shows the said injury to be grievous in nature, however, it remains a fact that the injury is in the right thigh which is not on vital part of the body. The petitioner has no criminal antecedent and undertakes to cooperate in the case/trial.
