The petitioner has preferred this application for grant of regular bail in a case registered under section 302 of the Indian Penal Code.

As per the prosecution case, it is stated by the informant that as a result of dispute, his father who is the petitioner herein assaulted his mother leading to her death. It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the case. It was a trivial domestic dispute between the husband and wife. There was no intention to kill and it is post dispute that she jumped from the terrace of the house leading to injuries as a result of which she died. The petitioner is in custody since 6.7.2019 and

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.24321 of 2021(4) dt.26-11-2021 2/2 has no criminal antecedent.

The application for bail is opposed by learned APP for the State.

Having heard learned counsel for the parties and on going through the materials on record, it transpires from the contents of the postmortem report that this petitioner assaulted the deceased with a hard and blunt object leading to as many as nine injuries caused on vital part of the body of the deceased. In view of the above facts, the Court is not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail and the application is rejected. Learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial.
