It is submitted by learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner that petitioner is quite innocent and has committed no offence. The present F. I.

Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, specific and direct nature of accusation and nature of injuries allegedly caused by this petitioner, the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner is rejected. (Prabhat Kumar Singh, J) shashank/- U T
