Based upon such complaint, the police station has registered the offence against the present applicant. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has been falsely implicated in this case and the allegation levelled against the present applicant is that he assaulted the injured with his hands, fist and knife, which was not life threatening. He later submits that the applicant has no criminal antecedents and he is in jail since 10.05.2025 and the conclusion of the trial is likely to take quite long time. Therefore, he prays for grant of regular bail to the applicant. 4. On the other hand, learned counsel appearing for the State/non- applicant would oppose the bail application and submit that the charge-sheet has been filed in the present case before the competent Court and submits that the applicant has no criminal antecedent. He further submits that present applicant along with other co-accused is alleged committing grievous hurt and causing grievous injuries to complainant and his brother due to some previous enmity, which is dangerous to life, therefore, he is not entitled for grant of bail. 5. I have heard learned counsel appearing for the parties and perused the case diary. 6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, nature and gravity of offence levelled against the applicant and the fact the injured sustained grievous heart/injuries caused by sharp weapons and fist and during the investigation, statements were recorded from the injured, applicant assaulted the injured with 3 sharp edged weapon (knife) on his body and he suffered injuries which was found to be grievous in nature and dangerous to life, this Court does not find it a fit case to release the applicant on bail. 7.
