2. The case of the prosecution is that the petitioner had abused the defacto complainant in filthy language and attacked him with beer bottle and caused injuries. Hence, the complaint.
3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is not involved in the offence and he has been falsely implicated. He further submits that he is in jail from 21.09.2021. He further submitted that there is a case in counter and the petitioner had given a complaint before the respondent in Crime No.1637 of 2021 against the defacto complainant. Hence he prays for grant of bail to the petitioner.
4. The learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) appearing for the respondent submitted that the injured person has been discharged from the hospital and there is no previous case pending as against the petitioner. However, he vehemently opposed for grant of bail to the petitioner.
