4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the case because of enmity between the parties which would be evident from the contents of the F.I.R. itself. There is no eye-witness to the alleged occurrence and so far as the CCTV footage is concerned, the authenticity of the same still needs to be verified. The petitioner has remained in custody for more than 1 year since 21.6.2025 and investigation in the case is complete. The petitioner is a 19 year old boy and undertakes to cooperate in the investigation/trial. He has no criminal antecedent.
5. The prayer for bail is opposed by learned A.P.P for the State and learned counsel for the informant. Learned counsel for the informant submits referring to the material that has transpired in course of investigation and the order of the learned trial Court rejecting the application for bail of the petitioner that in the CCTV footage, it has clearly come that the petitioner entered the house of the elder brother of the informant and came out followed by the elder brother of the informant coming out in an injured condition as a result of the petitioner having assaulted him in his stomach with a knife. The injury proved fatal. Thus the petitioner is the assailant of the deceased.
6. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.26637 of 2026(3) dt.01-07-2026 3/3 taking into consideration the allegations against the petitioner in the F.I.R., the contents of the CCTV footage which has transpired in course of investigation, the corresponding injury having been found in the postmortem report all leading to substantiate the allegations of the petitioner being the assailant of the deceased, the Court is not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail and the application is rejected.
