He further submits that the other accused in this crime were granted regular bail. He further submits that the petitioner also suffered an injury in a road accident and his eye sight is blurred and was advised to take treatment. 5. Learned Assistant Public Prosecutor, for the Respondent-State opposed the grant of bail to the petitioner/A.1 on the ground that specific accusations have been made against the petitioner herein. 6.

The petitioner/A.1 herein alleged to have stabbed L.W.1 with a knife. 3 8. Considering the serious nature of accusations levelled against the petitioner/A.1 and there is a prima-facie case which supported by the Wound Certificate, as produced by the Prosecution, this Court is not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner/A.1. 9. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. However, it is open to the petitioner/A.1 to surrender before the Court concerned to work out his remedies in accordance with law.
