1.

This matter is taken up through Hybrid Arrangement (Virtual /Physical Mode).

2.

Heard learned counsel for the Petitioner and the learned Additional Standing Counsel. Perused the records. 3.

This is an application under Section 438 Cr.P.C. filed by the Petitioner for anticipatory bail.

4.

It is submitted by the learned counsel for the Petitioner that there is earlier dispute between the informant and the Petitioner, as a result of which case and counter case have been filed. It is further submitted by the learned counsel for the Petitioner that as a result of scuffle that took place between the parties, the injured sustained simple injury. Further, it is stated that the Petitioner does not have any criminal antecedent.

5.

Considering the nature of allegations made, gravity of the

// 2 // offence and the facts of the case, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the Petitioner. However, it is directed that in the event the Petitioner surrenders before the learned J.M.F.C., Barpali in G.R.Case No.241 of 2022 arising out of Barpali P.S.Case No.249 of 2022 within a period of three weeks from today and moves for bail, he shall be released on bail on such terms and conditions as would be deemed just and proper by the learned Magistrate but subject to verification of criminal antecedent of similar nature against the Petitioner.
