respondent police, seeks anticipatory bail.
2. The case of the prosecution is that on 26.03.2026 due to the previous motive, the accused intercepted the defacto complainant and abused him and attacked and threatened with dire consequences. Hence, the case.
3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is innocent and he was falsely implicated in this case and he is no way connected in the above said incident. He has not committed any offence as alleged by the prosecution. There is a land dispute between the parties. Due to the same, this false case has been foisted against him. Hence, he prays to grant Anticipatory Bail to the petitioner.
4. The learned Government Advocate (Crl. side) fairly submits that the offence is grave in nature. Due to the previous enmity, the petitioner attacked the defacto complainant. There is a counter case also registered. Hence, he vehemently opposed the grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. However, the petitioner has no previous case. Investigation is still pending.
5. Heard both sides and perused the materials available on record. 2/5
