On 25.06.2023, the petitioner approached the defacto complainant by proposing to marry the another daughter of defacto complainant.

Hence, the case.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioner made a proposal to make compromise in this matter.

4. But the learned counsel for the defacto complainant would submit that no such compromise is possible in this matter.

5. The learned counsel for the petitioner repeatedly submitted that the daughter of injured, who is wife of this petitioner is ready to file an affidavit setting out the facts and circumstances of this case, which led to the above said occurrence.

6. According to the petitioner, only the injured namely defacto complainant in a 2/4

drunken mood came to the village for picking up quarrel and it is absoultely self sustained injuries, for which, this petitioner cannot be held responsible.

7. But such sort of contentions cannot be accepted and taken into account by this Court. Perusal of CD file as well as the photographs taken after the occurrence shows that serious nature of injury suffered by the injured and he has not even now recovered fully.

8. Considering the facts and circumstances of this case and also considering the grevious nature of injury inflicted upon the injured, the discretionary relief cannot be extended to the petitioner. Hence, this anticipatory bail petition deserves dismissal and accordingly dismissed. Consequently, connected Miscellaneous Petition is closed.
