2. The case of the prosecution is that on 29.06.2006, at about 12.00 p.m., when the defacto complainant was in his grocery shop, the petitioner and other accused asked grocery things in debt and since the petitioner already bought things for debt, the defacto complainant refused to give, due to which the petitioner and others attacked the defacto complainant with weapon. Hence, the case.

3. Today, when the matter is taken up for hearing, the learned petitioner would submit that in this case, the petitioner was already granted bail and thereafter, due to non-appearance, Non-Bailable Warrant is pending against the petitioner before the Trial Court. Now, the petitioner is in abroad and hence, he prayed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.
