He ran out of the Dhaba to save himself, screaming loudly, on hearing the voice, Gurjeet Singh came outside & Jagir Singh reached there, regarding some old dispute with the intention of killing Gurjeet Singh, he & his companions started hitting him with swords & sticks. Jagir Singh's companion also hit Vinod, who was standing near the kitchen, on the head with a stick. Then all of them, out of fear, ran out of the Dhaba to save their lives. Due to the assault, the complainant got grievous injuries on his head, Gurjeet Singh got injuries on his shoulder &; arm and Vinod got serious injuries on his head.

Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, submission of learned counsel for the parties, materials available on record, considering the fact that the applicant too participated in the incident and the injured has suffered injuries and also considering the fact that investigation is still going on, therefore I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the applicant. 7.
