¶19

petitioners submitted that petitioners have not assaulted the informant and his mother rather there is long standing land dispute between the parties and due to hot talk, they indulged in fierce fight and in the said course, both the parties sustained injury. Learned counsel further submits that FIR has been filed after much delay as the incident had taken place on 13.01.2020 and the FIR had been lodged on 26.01.2020. Petitioners have clean antecedent and to that effect, a statement has been made in paragraph no.3 of the bail application.

¶20

Learned APP for the State vehemently opposed the prayer for grant of pre-arrest bail. He submits that there are materials against the petitioners as injury has been described in paragraph nos. 15 and 16 of the case diary and as such they don’t deserve to be released on bail.

¶21

Considering the nature of allegation made in the FIR as well as the fact that no specific report is there with respect to the injury sustained by the informant and his mother, to support that the injury has been caused on the vital part of the body, i..e, on the head of the informant, I am of the opinion that the District Court may call for the opinion of the doctor with respect to the injury sustained by the informant and his mother and if it is found that injury is simple in nature, the
