Petitioner is a relative of the informant and this day again try to get in touch with her daughter without his consent and when she refused then stabbed her with a knife. The father of petitioner was trying to aid the petitioner escaping from the place of occurrence.
4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner has clean antecedent and he has falsely been implicated in the present case. It is next submitted that it appears from the FIR that informant is not an eye-witness to the alleged occurrence and petitioner has been made an accused in the present case merely on the basis of suspicion and except the aforesaid nothing has come during the investigation to suggest the involvement of the petitioner in the present occurrence.
5. The learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State and learned counsel for the informant, on the other hand, have vehemently opposed the prayer for bail of the petitioner and submits from perusal of the FIR it appears that there is direct and specific allegation against the petitioner that he has assaulted to the daughter of the informant by means of knife.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.29107 of 2026(4) dt.08-07-2026 3/3 from aforesaid, postmortem report of the deceased also supports the allegation meaning thereby that medical evidence also supports the allegation as alleged in the FIR.
6. Considering the nature of allegation supported by the medical evidence, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail in connection with Shekhopur Sarai P.S. Case No. 137 of 2025 pending in the court of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Sheikhpura.
7. Prayer is refused.
