Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is innocent and scuffle took place due to land dispute. He submits that in view of that, the payer for anticipatory bail may kindly be allowed. 3. Learned counsel for the State opposed the prayer and submits that grievous injury has been received by the father of the informant and several blows have been made by the petitioner on him by axe and grievous injury is there and in view of that, the prayer for anticipatory bail may kindly be rejected. 4. Looking into the contents of the FIR, it transpires that the petitioner has assaulted father of the informant by way of axe and pursuant to that, he has received grievous injury. It further transpires that the petitioner, Saket Singh, Suraj Singh and Prabha Devi shouted and threatened to kill the whole family, if they did not pay the ransom of Rs.10 Lakhs. 5. In the attending facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to extend the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner and, as such, the prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected. 6. Accordingly, this application is dismissed. (Sanjay Kumar Dwivedi, J.) Ajay/
