2. The case of the prosecution is that on 12.05.2025, at about 6.15 p.m., when the de-facto complainant was speaking with his acquaintances near Theppakulam during the Chithirai Festival, the accused persons were consuming liquor in a public place. The de-facto complainant instructed them not to consume liquor in public during the festival. Provoked by this, the accused persons attacked the de-facto complainant, causing him injury. Hence, a case has been registered.

3. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is an innocent and physically challenged person, and has not committed any offence as alleged by the prosecution. A false case has been foisted against the petitioner. He, however, submitted that the petitioner is willing to abide by any conditions that may be imposed by this Court. Hence, he seeks anticipatory bail.
