1. Learned Advocate for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in this case out of village dispute. The co-accused persons have been granted bail by the learned Sessions Judge, Cooch Behar. However, the prayer of the petitioner for anticipatory bail was turned down by the learned Sessions Judge. He seeks for anticipatory bail in favour of the petitioner.

2. Opposing such prayer, learned Advocate for the State submits that the victim sustained cut injury on left frontal area upon assault by the petitioner. There are specific allegations against this petitioner. He seeks for dismissal of the prayer for anticipatory bail.

3. Perused the case diary and materials on record.

4. It is found that there are specific allegations against this petitioner of assaulting the victim. The victim sustained cut injury over left frontal area and had to be admitted to the hospital. Considering such materials and the nature and gravity of the offence, I am not inclined to allow the prayer for anticipatory bail.

5. Thus, the prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected.

6. Accordingly, the application being CRM (A) 694 of 2025 stands dismissed.
