He is a person of clean antecedent. There is case and counter case. 5. On the other hand, the learned APP for the State has opposed the prayer for bail. 6. The petitioner is gotiya of the informant. The attack by the petitioner on the head of the informant’s son namely Ramashankar has not led to any grievous injury. It prima facie appears to be fight between the gotiyas. The petitioner also does not bear any criminal antecedent. Considering all these aspects of the matter, I am inclined to grant privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 7.
