The applicant is languishing in jail since 27.11.2018 (more than three and half months) criminal history has been properly explained. The applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in this case. General role has been assigned to applicant. It is not clear who is author of head injuries due to which he died. Recovery was falsely planted by the police. There was previous enmity between the accused and the complainant in which four persons had received injuries from the side of the applicant but case was not registered. There is no independent witness against the applicant. There is no eye witness account against the applicant and in case he is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail and will cooperate in trial.
