¶13

The petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection

¶14

with Chandauti P.S. Case No. 74 of 2025, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 191(2), 191(3), 190, 127(1), 352, 351(2), 115(2), 303(2), 109 of the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023.

¶15

Allegedly, on the fateful day, while the informant

¶16

was sitting at the door along with her husband, in the meanwhile, all the accused persons variously armed came there and started abusing. It is specifically alleged that the petitioner assaulted the husband of the informant by means of iron sabbal over his head, due to which he sustained serious injury.

¶17

Learned Advocate for the petitioner submitted that with regard to an occurrence, which took place on 16.02.2025,

¶19

the present FIR came to be instituted on 22.02.2025 without there being any explanation for the delay. There is counter version of the present case being Chandauti P.S. Case No. 75 of 2025 registered by the sister-in-law ( bhabhi ) of the petitioner against the informant and others. There is no repetition of blow. However, the learned court below has wrongly stated that the petitioner has given a repeated blow. In fact, on account of a trifle both the parties entered into scuffle resulting into injuries to persons of both the sides, however, the prosecution has failed to explain the injuries sustained to the members of the petitioner party. The petitioner bears fair antecedent and he undertakes that he will fully cooperate in the proceeding of the court.

¶20

On the other hand, learned Advocate for the State vehemently opposed the bail application.

¶21

Considering the delay in lodging of the FIR coupled with the factum of case and counter case and the fair antecedent of the petitioner, let the petitioner abovenamed be released on bail, in the event of his arrest or surrender before the court below within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order, upon furnishing bail bonds of Rs.10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned Chief Judicial
