3.
Learned counsel appearing for the applicants submits that the applicants are innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case. It is submitted that the applicants are in jail since 10.11.2024, and the conclusion of the trial shall take quite long time. Therefore, he prays for grant of bail.
4. On the other hand, learned State counsel, opposes the bail application and submits that the applicant is said to have assaulted the injured with sharped weapon who was having shop adjacent to the shop of the applicant, on her right hand and right parietal region and as per the X-ray report, there appears to be linear fracture on left thigh parietal bone. As such, the bail application deserves to be rejected.
