Cr. Misc. No.M-10495 of 2017 [2] From the record, I find that the present petitioner is named in the FIR. He was stated to be armed with a `Kirpan' and he attacked the complainant with `Kirpan' which hit on his forehead and second blow with `Kirpan' was given by co-accused on the backside of his head. Other coaccused also gave injuries to the complainant. The injury dangerous to life has been attributed to the present petitioner. The challan has been presented and the case is at preliminary stage as charges have not been framed yet. If the petitioner is granted the bail at this stage, there is every apprehension that he may tamper with the evidence. Otherwise also, he being the main accused, I do not find it a fit case where the present petitioner is entitled to the benefit of bail at this stage.

Therefore, finding no merit in this petition, the same is dismissed.

April 5, 2017.
