Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the incident arose during a cricket match. The petitioner is 19 years old. The police filed charge sheet and, therefore, custodial interrogation of the petitioner is not required. Learned Advocate appearing for the State draws the attention of the Court to the materials in the case diary including the injury report of the victim and the statement of the injured victim.

Considering the age of the petitioner and considering the fact that police filed charge sheet, we are inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand Only), with two sureties of

like amount each, to the satisfaction of the arresting officer and also be subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and on further condition that the petitioner shall appear on every date before the jurisdictional Court on and from the date fixed for appearance of the accused and in default the jurisdictional Court will pass appropriate order to secure the presence of the petitioner in Court including cancelling the anticipatory bail granted without further reference to this Court. Prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is allowed. CRM (A) 3506 of 2022 is disposed of.
