4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is innocent and has committed no offence. He further submits that the informant and the petitioner are residents of the same village and are well known to each other. He submits that the informant's family runs a shop, and a dispute arose 6-8 months ago for none purchase of article from the shop of the informant. He further submits that due to this dispute, the petitioner's father had lodged a criminal case against the informant's side, registered as Khaira P.S. Case No. 300 of 2024. It is submitted that the informant's side had been continuously pressurizing the petitioner's side to withdraw the said case, but when they refused, the present case was allegedly lodged.
Counsel further submits that the falsity of the allegation is evident from the injury report annexed as Annexure-3, which clearly shows that the injuries are simple in nature and caused by a hard and blunt substance. He, however, fairly submits that the criminal antecedent of the petitioner is not clean, as one criminal case is pending against him, in which he is already on bail.
5. Learned APP for the State opposes the petitioner's prayer for bail and submits that there is an allegation of assault against the petitioner.
