It is also submitted that the applicant does not have any previous criminal history and the injuries, as indicated, are trivial and simple in nature. 7. Learned A.G.A. has opposed the bail with the submission that there is ample CCTV footage which corroborates the allegations levelled against the applicant as well as the statement of the injured recorded under Section 180 of BNSS also corroborates the same. It is, however, admitted that the applicant does not have any previous criminal history and that the injuries sustained are simple in nature.
It is also admitted that a general role has been allocated to the application for causing injuries. 8. Upon consideration of submissions advanced by learned counsel for parties and perusal of material on record, prima facie, it appears that a general role has been allocated to the applicant of causing injuries, which are also simple in nature. The applicant does not have any previous criminal history. The altercation appears to have taken place due to some trivial dispute. 9. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case, till the next date of listing, the present applicant- Raghvendra P.
