Sri Yogendra Kumar, learned APP appearing for the State has opposed the prayer for bail.

Heard both sides and perused the FIR as well as case diary. Case diary goes to show that there is no direct evidence against the petitioner and the informant has raised suspicion against the petitioner on the ground that two months ago from the alleged incident, a dispute had taken place between son of the informant and son and relatives of the petitioner owing to that petitioner and others used to threat the son of the informant. During course of investigation, it has also come to light that there was no good relation between deceased and one person namely, Mahaveer Jha on account of love affair between deceased and daughter of said Mahaveer Jha and the witnesses during course of investigation stated that Mahaveer Jha might be involved in the alleged murder. As such present case is based on suspicion which has been raised by the informant and other witnesses.
