2. The case of the prosecution is that there was wordy quarrel in respect of "family dispute" between the petitioner and the de-facto complainant. The petitioner had trespassed into the house of the de-facto complainant, abused filthy language and assaulted the de-facto complainant with knife. Due to the impact, the de-facto complainant had sustained injuries. Hence the respondent police registered a case.

He submits that he has not committed any offence as alleged by the prosecution. He also submits that the petitioner is ready to abide by any conditions that may be imposed by this Court and ready to furnish sufficient solvent sureties for his release. Hence, he prays for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

6. Considering the fact that there was a family dispute between the petitioner and the de-facto complainant, the victim has been discharged from the hospital and investigation has almost been completed.
