this case due to village politics. He further submits that the allegation of firing is against co-accused Bhim Chauhan and the only overt act alleged against this petitioner is that he along with co-accused Pawan Chauhan caught the informant. He further submits that the petitioner has got no criminal antecedent. The injury report suggests that injury caused to the victim is simple in nature.

Regards being had to the submissions advanced on behalf of the parties and taking into consideration the fact that the allegation of firing upon the informant is against coaccused Bhim Chauhan, I am inclined to grant the petitioner privilege of anticipatory bail.
