Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. Choubey Jawahar, learned APP for the State.

The petitioner has earlier moved before a Coordinate Bench of this Court with a prayer for anticipatory bail which was rejected vide order dated 23.01.2025 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 89390 of 2024.

¶13

¶14

As per prosecution case, at around 4.15 pm in the evening, the informant was at her home (in-laws’ house) when suddenly her brother Brij Kishore Kumar came to her in-laws’ house and asked to call her daughter. At that time, the informant was shocked and saw that her brother was hiding something.

¶16

Suddenly, informant’s brother took out his weapon and shot the informant with an intention to kill. When the informant screamed, her brother ran away.

¶17

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is innocent and has committed no offence as alleged against him and has falsely been implicated in the present case due to ulterior motive. He further submits that the injury has not been caused on the vital portion of the body and, hence, Section 307 of the I.P.C. does not make out. He further submits that neither fire-arms nor anything incriminating has been recovered from the conscious possession of the petitioner or from his house. He further submits that the matter between the parties has been compromised and a compromise petitioner has also been filed in the court of learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate-II, Kaimur at Bhabua in Kudra P.S. Case No. 65 of 2024. The petitioner has no criminal antecedent and is languishing in judicial custody since 24.03.2025 without any rhymes or reason.

¶18

On the other hand, learned A.P.P. for the State has vehemently opposed the prayer for grant of bail to the petitioner, stating that the offence alleged is serious in nature.
