2.The case of the prosecution is that there was a wordy quarrel between the victim and the petitioner, due to which, the petitioner stabbed the victim on his stomach using a knife and inflicted further cuts on the body of the victim and hence, the case.

3.The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner had not committed any offence as alleged and the petitioner had been falsely implicated in this case. He further submitted that the petitioner is ready and willing to furnish substantial sureties for his due release and to abide by any conditions that may be imposed by this Hon'ble Court and therefore, he prays to grant bail to the petitioner. 4.The learned Government Advocate (Crl.
