petitioner so also by the learned Government Pleader
that the investigation is completed and charge sheet is
filed.
5. I have perused the wound certificate
produced by the learned counsel for the petitioner
wherein it is stated that injury sustained by the injured
is simple in nature. Therefore, at this stage, life of the
injured is safe and out of danger. The alleged offence

bialable, but not exclusively punishable with death or
imprisonment for life. Further, the petitioner has
contended in the petition that he is innocent and not
committed the alleged offence and he has undertaken to
abide by any conditions to be imposed by this Court.
Hence, I am of the opinion that petitioner can be
granted with bail.
