for the informant and learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State.
Learned counsel for the petitioner undertakes to remove the defects within three weeks of resumption of normal court proceedings. In the eventuality of non-removal of defects within stipulated period, office will place the matter before the Bench.
The petitioner apprehends his arrest in a case registered for the offence punishable under Sections 341, 342, 323, 504, 307, 379, 34 of the Indian Penal Code.
The allegation against the petitioner is that he has assaulted the informant on his head by means of Farsa with an intention to kill and when the informant’s family members

intervened, the other accused made various lathi blows on the informant’s side.
It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that petitioner is quite innocent and has committed no offence. He has been falsely implicated in this case. No such occurrence, in the manner as alleged, has ever taken place. Both sides are the agnates and there is an admitted land dispute between the parties. It is submitted that for the alleged occurrence, there is a case and counter-case between the parties. The informant’s side are the aggressors and the present case is the counter blast of Supaul/Laukaha O.P. P.S. Case No.370 of 2021 instituted against the informant and his family members by the petitioner. It is submitted that in the alleged occurrence, both sides have sustained injuries which are simple in nature. Petitioner has one criminal antecedent, which has inadvertently been wrongly mentioned as no criminal antecedent in paragraph-3 of this application.
Learned APP for the State as well as learned counsel for the informant opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail.
Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, since there is case and counter case between the parties and both sides have sustained simple injuries, let the above named
