¶6

Heard learned counsel for the applicant and Shri Ravish Chandra Mishra, learned A.G.A. for the State through Video Conferencing and perused the record.

¶7

The instant bail application under Section 439 Cr.P.C. has been filed with the prayer to enlarge the applicant on bail in Case Crime No.266 of 2023, under Sections-147, 302 IPC, Police Station-Jethwara, District Pratapgarh, during the pendency of the trial.

¶8

Contention of learned counsel for the applicant is that on the basis of general allegation, the entire family members have been implicated. It is further submitted that as per the post mortem report, cause of death of the deceased is strangulation and no specific role was assigned to any of the accused and there is no eye witness of the incident. It is further submitted that the co-accused Mohd. Asif and Mohd. Moin Sheikh @ Mohd. Moin , have been enlarged on bail in Criminal Misc. Bail Application Nos.6843 of 2024 and 7016 of 2024 vide orders dated 25.06.2024 and 12.07.2024 respectively. The applicant is a law abiding citizen and he is languishing in jail since 22.11.2023. In case, he is granted bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail and would cooperate in the trial proceedings.

¶9

Learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for bail and submitted that the applicant along with other co-accused persons have murdered Dilip Jaiswal by strangulation in their house. Therefore, no case for bail is made out.

¶10

Having heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record, it appears that the first informant in the first information report as well as in her statement made allegation that the deceased, Dilip Jaiswal was murdered by all the accused persons by strangulation and after committing his murder, co-accused Mohd. Ashif himself informed to the first informant about the incident. In their statements, first informant as well as his father stated that the deceased Dilip Jaiswal as well as daughter of coaccused Mohd. Sayeed (Nazia Bano) were having relationship.

¶11

However, considering the entire facts and circumstances of the case, submissions of learned counsel for the parties and keeping in view of the nature of the offence that there is no eye witness and general nature of the allegation was made against all the accused. Therefore, without expressing any opinion on merits of the case, I am of the opinion that the applicant is entitled to be enlarged on bail.

¶12
