According to the eye witness, the applicant assaulted Akhilesh with the wooden rod on his head. The earlier application for bail of the applicant came to be rejected on the ground that Akhilesh was already :2: operated for the said injury, however, he was required to undergo another operation for the said injury. Looking to the fact that Akhilesh had to undergo another operation, the bail application came to be rejected at that stage.
