that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in this case and that he has

not committed any offence as alleged by the prosecution. Hence, he seeks

this Court to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

4.The learned Government Advocate (Crl.side) appearing for the

respondent police would submit that the injured was treated as an

outpatient.
