Having thus heard the petitioners counsel and also on perusal of the complaint allegations, in my view, as the injuries caused to the complainant were not on the vital parts of the body, but on the right forearm, the petitioner can be released on bail by imposing conditions and hence I pass the following order. 1. The petitioner shall be released on bail on his executing a personal bond for Rs.25,000/- with two sureties for the likesum to the satisfaction of the trial court. 4 2.
