Exemption allowed subject to just exceptions.
1. The present bail application has been filed under section 439 Cr. P.C, seekingregular bail in case FIR No. 278/2022 lodged at Police Station Subzi Mandi under sections 307/34 IPC.
2. The present FIR was lodged on the statement of Mr Lalit Kumar. A perusal of FIR indicates that the parties are related to each other. On the date of the incident, there was some altercation between the younger brother of the complainant and Rajesh when Rajesh slapped Yogesh, at this, the complainant intervened. In the meanwhile, another cousin Akash came there and allegedly assaulted the complainant with a knife on the neck and made 3-4 repeated attacks. However, the complainant saved himself. It has been alleged that Rajesh caught hold of him and Akash again assaulted him with a knife. The complainant states that though he did not suffer any bodily injury, however, his T-shirt was torn and an attempt was also made to badly assault Yogesh. However, he also ran away. The accused is stated to be in custody since 06.05.2022.
3. The bail application was opposed by the APP on the ground that the offence was of serious nature and the applicant is found to be involved in one another case. It was also submitted that the brother of the applicant/petitioner is DC of the area.
4. I consider that detention during the trial cannot be punitive in nature. As per the FIR and the material placed on record, the complainant had received a simple injury.
