2. The case of the prosecution is that the petitioner is the 2nd son of the de facto complainant, the petitioner left his wife Bharathi and his children and is living along with one Manju. On 21.11.2025, the collection agent informed that the vehicle loan of the petitioner was not paid and took possession of the vehicle. Even prior to that, the issue was informed to the petitioner and he demanded the de facto complainant to pay the said loan. On 25.11.2025, when Bharathi was going to work, the petitioner alleged to assault the said Bharathi with knife on her head, in that incident the said Bharathi sustained grievous injury. Hence, the case.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioner would contend that the petitioner is an innocent person and it is only a matrimonial dispute. He would further submit that the petitioner is physically challenged person, i.e., deaf and dumb. Further, the petitioner has no prevision cases.

Therefore, he prayed that the petitioner may be released on bail.

4. The learned Government Advocate (Criminal side) would submit that the petitioner assaulted his wife and she sustained injuries, investigation is pending and the injured was discharged from the hospital. Hence, he strongly opposed to grant bail to the petitioner.

5. Heard both sides and perused the materials available on record.
