2.As per the prosecution, due to previous enmity with one Ramzan Begum, the deceased started quarrel at her shop pelting stone which provokes this petitioner and three others to come out of the shop and they brutally attacked the deceased with stone and Iron ladle(Dosai Karandi) and the deceased succumbed to the injury.

¶15

3.The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that it was the deceased who provoked the incident by pelting stone and it was the petitioner who sustained injuries first and when the staffs of the hotel started chasing the deceased, he fell down due to the influence of liquor and succumbed caused due to the fall on a stone in the floor.

¶16

The postmortem report furnished by the learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) indicates the injuries caused to the deceased, out of which four of the injuries are in and around the face on each part, which could not have been happened by fall on the floor. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ Therefore this Court is not inclined to consider the theory projected by the petitioner in the bail petition.
