Learned Advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner was falsely implicated. The son of the de facto complainant was involved in a narcotic case. The present police complaint is a counter blast to that.

Learned Advocate appearing for the State submits that the injury suffered by the victim is simple in nature. Considering the fact that the victim suffered simple injury and considering the materials in the case diary, 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 condition that the petitioner shall meet the Investigating Officer once in a month till the conclusion of the investigation 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) 570 of 2022 is disposed of.
