4. It is alleged that suspecting the injured to be practising witchcraft, the Petitioner along with two other persons entered into her house and assaulted the injured. One of the culprits also fired a gunshot causing injury to the injured lady. The materials on record, however, do not reveal that the gunshot was fired by the present Petitioner.

Let the Petitioner be released on bail on such terms and conditions as may be imposed by the court in seisin over the matter in the aforesaid case including the condition that he shall appear before the court below on each date of posting of the case and in case of any single default, the said court shall pass appropriate orders to take him to custody again.
