The learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in this case. He submits that the complainant himself was in drunken condition on the date of incident and due to the said reason only hot talk and scuffle took place between the parties. The present applicant has no previous criminal antecedents and he has not involved in any other case, therefore, he prays for grant of anticipatory bail to the applicant. 4. On the other hand, learned State counsel opposes the bail application of the present applicant and submits that the complainant is the Police Constable and the present applicant after consuming liquor, abusing him and assaulted him by way of hand and fist, therefore, the present applicant is not entitled for grant of anticipatory bail. 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary. 3 6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, and particularly the fact that the present applicant has assaulted the complainant who is a Police Constable by hand and fist, without further commenting anything on merits, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the applicant. 7. Accordingly, the anticipatory bail application of the applicant– Govinda Baiga, filed under Section 482 of Bhartiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 involved in Crime No. 10/2025 registered at Police Station – Chowki Rajgamar, P.S.
