State of Haryana – Respondent
JUDGMENT :
Manjari Nehru Kaul, J.
The petitioner is seeking the concession of bail under Section 439 Cr.P.C. in case FIR No.221 dated 09.09.2023 under Sections 148 , 149, 302, 307, 323, 325, 506, 34 of the IPC registered at Police Station Sadar Kanina, District Mahendergarh.

The court emphasized the importance of fair antecedents and the nature of injuries when granting anticipatory bail.
