¶2The case of the prosecution is that on 26.06.2026, when the defacto complainant questioned the rash and negligent driving of the petitioner, he abused him in a filthy language and also attacked him with iron rod. Due to which, he sustained injuries. Hence, the case.

¶3The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is an innocent person and he has not committed any offence as alleged by the defacto complainant and he has been falsely implicated in this case. He further submitted that he is ready to abide by any conditions that may be imposed by this Court and ready to co-operate with the investigation. Hence, he prayed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

¶4The learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) appearing for the respondent police reiterated the prosecution case and submitted that the petitioner attacked the defacto complainant with iron rod due to which he sustained injuries and the injured underwent treatment in the hospital for 3 days. Hence, she opposed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Page3 of 6
