Sukleane s/o late Jani Basha. In the said case, the petitioner was arrested on 11.05.2026 and remanded to judicial custody. His bail application filed before the jurisdictional Sessions Court in Crl.Mis.No.415/2026 was rejected on 26.05.2026. Therefore, he is before this Court.

Accordingly, the first informant had installed the pendal and decorated the house of accused No.2 for the purpose of the engagement ceremony. However, accused No.2 had failed to pay money to the first informant. Subsequently, accused Nos.1 and 2 once again approached the first informant on 06.05.2026 and asked him to install pendal for the purpose of the marriage of the daughter of accused No.2.
