case due to dirty village politics. The informant and the
petitioner are agnates. The petitioner has clean antecedent.

direct allegation of assault to the husband of informant on his

caused to the injured is found to be grievous in nature.
Therefore, the petitioner does not deserve anticipatory bail.
