Mr. Manuj Nagrath, Advocate has put in appearance on behalf of the complainant and has filed his power of attorney, which is taken on record. 4. Learned State counsel assisted by learned counsel for the complainant has opposed the submissions made by learned counsel for the petitioner on the ground that the petitioner along with her co-accused had attacked the complainant side with sharp-edged weapons and therefore she does not deserve the concession of pre-arrest bail. 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and carefully perused the record. 6. In the present case, the petitioner had allegedly caused injury with an iron rod on the left little finger of the complainant and the injured has already been discharged.
