investigation prima facie, it goes to show that petitioner is
also involved in commission of the alleged offences. There

8. Point No.1: It is alleged in the complaint that, on
29.04.2022 at 5.00pm, the petitioner went to the home
of the complainant and told him to come out with him.
When complainant did not join the petitioner, the
petitioner entered the house of complainant, slapped the
informant and stabbed him by using a knife on his left
portion
of
chest.
He
sustained
bleeding
injury.
Thereafter, the petitioner warned complainant not to
reveal the same to any other persons and left the house.

grant of anticipatory bail.
9. The learned counsel for petitioner submits that the
petitioner is falsely implicated in the above case.
There

is no prima-facie case against him. The learned counsel
further submits that the respondent police are making
hectic efforts to arrest the petitioner and hence the
petitioner apprehend his arrest from the hands of the
respondent police. The petitioner hails from respectable
family having deep roots in the society and he is ready
to abide by any conditions that may be imposed by this
court in the event he is enlarged on anticipatory bail.

offence by stabbing the informant with a knife.
investigation is still in progress.
The
At this stage, if the
petitioner is released on bail, there is every chance of
him to abscond from the jurisdiction of this court and it is
difficult to secure the petitioner for trial and therefore, he
is not entitled to be released on bail.
11. On perusal of entire materials on record it
shows that, there are specific allegations against the
accused that on 29.04.2022, when the complainant was
at home, at about 5.00pm, the petitioner came to

this stage.
Crl. Mis 6061/2022
At this stage petitioner is not entitled for

Negative.
12. Point No.2:- In view of the above discussion I
proceed to pass the following:
