Recording the submission that the informant himself is the injured, who lodged the report but having not received any grievous injury as claimed, this Court, considering the objection of the State, is inclined to direct the petitioner to surrender before the learned court below for being released with following conditions even though it is not inclined to entertained his plea for pre-arrest bail in view of the fact that he is claimed to be a first-time offender for having no previous antecedent.
