Informant has alleged that his uncle Raghunath Pal and one Sitabi Pal were assaulted by petitioner by iron rod on their head as a result of which both have sustained grievous injuries and during treatment Sitabi Pal died. It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioner that he is innocent and has committed no offence. He has been falsely implicated in this case due to land dispute. Similarly

Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and there is direct allegation against the petitioner, as such, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail at this stage. Hence, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is hereby rejected. Trial court is directed to expedite and conclude trial within a period of one year from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order.
