Therefore, he sustained grievous injuries and he was admitted in the hospital and there are totally 11 accused in this case.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that the victim's wife is a daughter of the petitioner's brother.

4. The learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the respondent police would submit that the petitioner along with other accused persons, on the date of occurrence, assaulted the victim with knife brutally, thereby he sustained head injury. He would further submit that there were twelve injuries found on the victim, who went to coma, now taking treatment in the private hospital. He would further submit that the petitioner/A1 also involved in another case of Section 302 of IPC. Hence, he vehemently opposed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.
