On perusal of the F.I.R., it appears that the present applicant is said to be present on the scene of offence. It is not alleged that he was carrying any weapon or committed any overt act. After the incident was over, he asked the assailants to run away and assured the assailants that he will take care of the situation. The F.I.R. also states that the injured was :2: assaulted by sword. The medical certificate shows that the injuries were caused by hard and blunt object. It was sought to be argued that there are antecedents against the present applicant and he is shown as an accused in C.R.No.35/2004 for offences under Section 149 read with 323 and 324 of the Indian Penal Code. Taking an over all view of the matter and also taking into account that the F.I.R. narrates that on the earlier occasion applicant had prevented the incident, I am inclined to grant bail to the applicant subject to stringent conditions. 3.
