On this basis, learned Senior Counsel has submitted that injury was not grievous. 7. Per contra, learned State Counsel vehemently opposed the bail application and would submit that the injury is caused by a sharp-edged weapon and would have been fatal if it was penetrated a little deeper. 8. Having considered the submissions of learned counsel for the parties and also considering the fact that applicant and injured both are housewives; applicant has no previous criminal history; both are neighbours and the incident happened only due to some altercation which took place between them on some trivial issue, this Court is of the view that it is a case fit for bail and the applicant deserves to be enlarged on bail. 9. Accordingly, the present bail application is allowed. 10. Let the applicant be released on bail on her executing a personal bond and furnishing two reliable sureties each of the like amount, to the satisfaction of the court concerned.
