Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the respondent-State and perused the record.

3.

The petitioner is arrayed as A-2 for the offence of attempt to murder the de facto complainant. It is the case of the prosecution that while this petitioner and A-3 caught hold of the victim, A-1 inflicted injuries with a knife. Since the petitioner had facilitated A-1, the case was registered against him by abetting the offence by A-1.

Learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that he is a Government servant and in the event of being arrested is

likely to lose his job. In fact, the petitioner was preventing the father of A-1 from attacking the victim. He further submits that A-3 was granted bail immediately on production before the concerned Magistrate.

5.

Keeping in view that the petitioner is a public servant and there is no allegation of inflicting any injury, this Court deems it appropriate to grant anticipatory bail, subject to the following conditions:

1) The petitioner/Accused No.2 is directed to surrender before the Station House Officer, Khanapur Police Station, Nirmal District on 07.08.2023. Upon such surrender, the said Station House Officer shall release the petitioner/Accused No.2 on bail, on his executing personal bond for a sum of Rs.50,000/- (Rupees Fifty Thousand only) with two sureties for a like sum each to his satisfaction.
