The case of the prosecution, is that on 12.04.2026 the applicant along with other co-accused has beaten the complainant namely Om Prakash Shrivas by help of knife, so on the basis of the report, crime was registered against the applicant.

On the other hand, learned State counsel opposes the bail application of the applicant, and submitted that the applicant is said to have assaulted the injured with knife, therefore, he is not entitled for grant of bail. 5.
