2. The learned counsel for the petitioner stated that the petitioner is an innocent person and he has been falsely implicated in Crime No.330 of 2024 registered by the respondent Police for the offences under Sections 294(b), 323, 324 and 506(i) of IPC. Thus, he seeks anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

3. The learned Government Advocate (Criminal side) stated that, on 09.04.2024, the petitioner along with two others met with an accident in the main road and raised a quarrel with the defacto complainant. The petitioner along with others abused the defacto complainant with filthy language and also attacked with hands and stone, due to which, the defacto complainant sustained simple injuries.
