It is also submitted that mother of the applicant has submitted an application to the Superintendent of Police, District Narsinghpur stating all these facts along with the copies of medical treatment, which are placed on record as Annexure A-3 and A-4 respectively. Therefore, it is prayed that the applicant may be granted anticipatory bail.
