¶18

It appears that informant alleged that petitioner and his family members used to torture the deceased due to partition of property. When the informant went to the place of occurrence the dead body of his sister and nephew were not found. During the course of investigation, the dead body of the wife of the petitioner was found far away from his house and in another district. Dead body of his son was not yet traced. The petitioner is said to have made his so-called exculpatory statement before the police that there was scuffle between him and the person, with whom his wife was in compromising position, and on account of assault of that person his son died. The wife of petitioner also got injuries in the aforesaid scuffle but surprisingly neither the petitioner nor that unknown person received any scratch on their bodies in the scuffle. It was the petitioner who is to disclose where are the dead bodies of his wife and son, who were killed in the house. Blood stained axe was also recovered from there and blood stain was found all around the room.

¶19

Considering the facts aforesaid, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the same is rejected.
