JUDGMENT Sandeep Mehta, J. - This anticipatory bail application under Section 438 CrPC has been filed by the petitioner Deva Ram S/o Rugha Ram apprehending his arrest in connection with F.I.R. No.67/2021 registered at the Police Station Jaitaran, District Pali for the offences under Sections 143, 341, 323 and 307 IPC. 2. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Public Prosecutor and learned counsel for the complainant and gone through the case diary. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that cross cases have been registered inter se between the parties. The petitioner himself suffered significant injuries in the incident and thus, he deserves the indulgence of pre-arrest bail. 4. Per contra learned Public Prosecutor and learned counsel for the complainant urged that it was the petitioner who first inflicted the life threatening injury by a sharp weapon on the neck of the injured Ramesh, thus, the members of the complainant party were totally justified in acting in defence and stopping the petitioner by using force. 5. Having considered the arguments advanced at bar and after going through the material available on record, it is apparent that there is specific allegation in the statement of the injured Ramesh that the sharp weapon injury on his neck was caused by the petitioner. A bare perusal of the photographs available on the case diary indicates that the injury reached to a significant depth exposing the artery and windpipe of the injured and he escaped death by a whisker. 6. In this background, this court is not inclined to grant indulgence of pre-arrest bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, this application under Section 438 CrPC is dismissed.
