4. Learned Advocate for the petitioner referring to the FIR contended that besides the fact that the parties are bickering
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.81110 of 2025(2) dt.09-12-2025 2/3 over a land dispute with respect to an occurrence, which took place on 28.07.2025, the present FIR came to be instituted on 30.07.2025, without there being any plausible explanation for delay. So far the injury which is allegedly sustained to the informant is concerned, the same is said to be simple in nature. In this regard, a statement has also been made in paragraph no. 10 of the bail application. To support the aforesaid contention, a photo-copy of the injury report issued by the S.M.O., S.D.H, Chakia has been placed on record. It is further contended that the petitioner bears fair antecedent and he undertakes that he will full 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 injury received by the informant clearly suggest that the same is incised wound, caused by sharp cut weapon and thus the allegation of inflicting knife blow is corroborated, though the informant is fortunate one that he survived anyhow.
6. Having regard to the submissions made on behalf of the learned Advocate for the respective parties and taking note of the genesis of the occurrence, coupled with the delay in lodging of the FIR as well as simple nature of injury, besides the fair antecedent of the petitioner, let the petitioner above named
