APP for the State.

¶14

The petitioner seeks bail in a case registered under Sections 147, 149, 341, 323, 325, 427, 447, 302 & 504 of the Indian Penal Code.

¶15

The prosecution case, in brief, is that on the point of trivial issue, dispute arose. The accused persons variously armed are said to have come on the door of informant and assaulted him. While the wife of the informant came to rescue him, the accused persons gave her lathi blow as a result of which, she sustained injury and became unconscious and, in consequence thereof, she died in course of treatment.

¶16

It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioner that the petitioner has got no criminal antecedent. There is no allegation

of tampering of witnesses alleged against the petitioner. The petitioner is in custody since 12-07-2018. Charge sheet has already been submitted. The petitioner has falsely been implicated in the present case. Some of the witnesses, examined in course of investigation, have not made allegation of assault to the deceased against the petitioner.

¶19

On behalf of the State, it is submitted that the petitioner is named in the Complaint Case/F.I.R. The petitioner and other coaccused are said to have assaulted on the stomach of the deceased by means of Lathi. The postmortem report corroborates the allegation made in the FIR. As per postmortem report, the deceased is said to have died due to injury sustained in her stomach by hard and blunt substance. The informant is an eye witness. There is no reason to doubt the statement made by the informant. Petitioner’s plea that other co-accused with similar allegation have been granted bail by coordinate bench of this court is concerned, from the order dated 22-04-2019 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 4359 of 2019, does not find support from the materials available on record. Rather it appears that all the coaccused i.e. nine in number had assaulted the deceased. As per the FIR, the specific allegation of assault is alleged against this petitioner and other accused namely Bhukur Gaddi.

¶21

Considering the fact that there is specific allegation of assault alleged against the petitioner and also the fact that the postmortem report corroborates the allegation made in the FIR, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, prayer for bail of the petitioner in connection with Dhanaha P.S. Case No. 133 of 2018 is rejected.
