A C-shaped incised wound measuring 2 cm x 0.5 cm is present over the posterior aspect of the right forearm with its convex side facing downwards, placed 13.9 cm below the elbow joint. Margins are clean out. Fresh bleeding is present.

2.

A lacerated wound measuring 2.3 cm x 0.3 cm is present obliquely over the left side of the forehead, placed 2 cm above outer end of the left eyebrow and 5.7 cm to the left of the midline. Margins are irregular. Fresh bleeding is present. Associated with an underlying reddish bruise of size 5 cm x 3.7 cm.

3.

An incised wound measuring 7.5 cm x 0.5 cm is present obliquely over the right occipitoparietal region of the head. The outer end is placed 10.2 cm above the top of the right ear and 14.8 cm from the occipital protuberance and the inner end is placed 16 cm above the top of the right ear and 9.7 cm above the occipital protuberance. Margins are clean cut. Fresh bleeding is present. 4.

Petitioner is attributed an injury to complainant's right arm with kappa and it was opined as simple in nature. Since petitioner is alleged to be a member of an unlawful assembly and have trespassed into the house of the complainant while armed with a sharp-edged weapon, along with other accused, who caused grievous injuries, including injuries on the head, custodial interrogation appears to be necessary in the facts and circumstances of the present case.

5.

Accordingly, this Court does not find any sufficient or justifiable ground to extend the concession of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Consequently, present petition stands dismissed.
