The case of the prosecution is that due to a dispute between college students regarding a 'Route-Head', the petitioner, along with other co-accused, chased the de facto complainant and assaulted him with a knife at the Metro Station. Hence, the present case.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is innocent and he has been falsely implicated in this case and that he has not committed any offence as alleged by the prosecution. He further submitted that the petitioner’s name was not found place in the FIR and that he is ready to abide by any stringent conditions that may be imposed by this Court. Hence, he prays for grant of bail to the Petitioner. 4. Per contra, the learned Government Advocate (Criminal Side) appearing for the Respondent Police reiterated the prosecution case and submitted that the co-accused was released on bail before the Trial Court. He further submitted that the injured was discharged from the hospital and that the petitioner has no previous cases pending against him. However, he opposed the grant of bail to the Petitioner. 5.
