                   learned A.P.P. for the State.

                             2.    The petitioner apprehends his arrest in a case

                   registered for the offences punishable under Sections 324(2),

                   126(2), 115(2), 109(1), 303(2) and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya

                   field when he saw the cattle of accused persons grazing the

                   field, on objection accused namely Kapil, Peru, Chalu, Birju

                   and petitioner tried to kill his son by pushing him in pond and

          accused Rajniti, Bandar and Vikas while petitioner snatched

          Gold chain and Rs. 7,000/- cash from his son.

                   4.     Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that

          petitioner has been falsely implicated in the instant case by the

          informant. It is next submitted that from perusal of the

          allegations as alleged in the FIR, it would manifest that on

          had taken place in which both sides assaulted each other. It is

          further submitted that even injury suffered by the injured has

          been opined to be simple in nature and allegation of assault is

          not specific and as far as allegation of snatching of gold chain

                   6.     Considering the submissions made by the learned

          counsel for the petitioner, the petitioner above-named, in the

          event of his arrest or surrender within a period of six weeks
