started to press her neck. When Rambriksh Mahto, the husband of the informant, rushed to save her, then he was also assaulted by them through fists and slaps. At that time, both had pistol in their hand and due to fear, no villager reached at the place of the occurrence. Thereafter, both set the house of the informant on fire.

¶17

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner and the informant are neighbours and due to grudge and enmity, the informant implicated the petitioner and the coaccused Tullu Mahto. While the informant has alleged in the F.I.R. that the petitioner and the co-accused Tullu Mahto set her house on fire but in paragraph-6 of the case diary, in which the place of the occurrence is detailed, no sign of burning was found in the house of the informant rather burnt hut was found adjacent to the house of the informant. Moreover, the injuries, as found on the person of the informant and her husband, are simple in nature. While the petitioner is accused in two other cases, as detailed in paragraph-3 to this application, but out of the aforesaid two cases, in one case, the petitioner has already been acquitted and in another case, he is on bail.

¶18

Having considered the facts and the circumstances of the case, let the petitioner, above named, in the event of his arrest or
