any explanation. There is no specific allegation against the petitioner or any of the co-accused persons. Learned counsel further submits that the petitioner and others have been falsely implicated due to reason that the deceased and co-accused Rajendra Choudhari are cousin brothers and in the year 2017 son of Rajendra Choudhari was killed by informant side in which deceased was also an accused and Patepur P.S. Case No. 99 of 2017 has been registered against the deceased and others. Even the post-mortem report does not support the prosecution case. No external injuries have been found on the body of the deceased except an abrasion over right knee joint. Cause of death is stated to be myocardial infarction and it shows the husband of the deceased died due to heart attack. Viscera has been preserved. This falsifies the allegation against the petitioner and others for assaulting the husband of the informant. Learned counsel further submits that co-accused Shardha Devi has been granted bail by a Co-ordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 09.04.2025 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 84963 of 2024 and Rajendra Choudhary @ Rajendra Choudhari and Mintu Choudhary @ Mintu Kumar have also been granted bail by another Co-ordinate Bench vide order dated 07.05.2025 passed in Cr.
