Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that the petitioner is aged about 27 years and he is a graduate and he is taking coaching for Group – I. He further contends that A.2 to A.5 were already granted bail by the court below. He further contends that the incident is an outcome of petty dispute between the defacto complainant and the accused. As such, he requests this Court to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 5. On the other hand, learned Additional Public Prosecutor opposed the bail application by contending that there is a specific overt act attributed against the petitioner/A.1, who beat the defacto complainant on his mouth, resulting loss of his three teeth. As such, the police added Section 118(2) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. Accordingly, he requests this Court to dismiss the application. 6. This court perused the entire material on record.
