JUSTICE GOPAL PRASAD ORAL ORDER 3 13-04-2012 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. This is an application for grant of anticipatory bail for offence under [STATUTE] . There is allegation that the petitioner along with others and Krishna Kumar gave a garasa blow by which the informant of the informant got injury on the head and blood started oozing. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that allegation is of assault by garasa, but, the injury found to be lacerated. The learned counsel for the State, however, submits that the injury is grievous. Hence, having regard to the facts and circumstances, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner, who has been assigned the role of assault. The prayer for bail is rejected. However, if the petitioner surrenders and prays for regular bail that may be considered on it’s own merit without being prejudiced of this order. SA/- (Gopal Prasad, J)
