Case brief
What is this about?
Allahabad High Court, Lucknow Bench (Pankaj Bhatia, J.) rejected the bail application of Vinay Kumar Singh @ Pappu Singh in Case Crime No.53 of 2023 under Sections 324, 504, 506 and 302 IPC, P.S. Maharua, District Ambedkar Nagar (order dated 9.8.2024). Parity with co-accused Raman Singh (bailed on 07.08.2024 in Bail Application No.14868 of 2023) was held unavailable because two independent eyewitnesses specifically attributed the killing, by use of a Banka, to the applicant, whose act caused the death of his own son; applicant had a prior S.307 IPC conviction but was on bail by appellate court order. Keywords: bail rejection, parity denied, S.302 IPC, Banka, independent witnesses, parricide.
What did the court decide?
The Court noted that two independent witnesses who were cooking at the place in question specifically assigned the role of killing to the applicant by the use of a Banka, and considering the specific allegation that the injury caused by the applicant resulted in the death of his own son, no good ground for bail was made out.
