She further submits that the allegations are made of assault by way of axe and that has not come in the case diary. She then submits that the altercation took place due to land dispute. She next submits that the witnesses have informed the informant that both the parties were fighting amongst each other. On these grounds, she submits that anticipatory bail may kindly be granted to the petitioner. 4. Learned counsel appearing for the State opposed the prayer and submits that there is direct allegation of assault against the petitioner and pursuant to that grievous injury has been received by the father-in-law of the informant. 5.
