Mr. Ram Bilash Roy Raman, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE SOURENDRA PANDEY ORAL ORDER 20-05-2025 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioners and learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State.

2. The petitioner seeks regular bail in connection with Suppi P.S. Case No. 139 of 2024 registered for the offence under Sections 103(1) of the B.N.S. Act.

3. As per the prosecution case, the informant submitted a written report alleged therein that on 15.08.2024, during taking tea some hot words were exchanged between the daughter and son of the informant. It is alleged that the son of the informant namely Vikash Paswan (petitioner) gave knife blow to his sister who died.

4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the said incident was an act of rage which occurred in the

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.31724 of 2025(3) dt.20-05-2025 2/3 spur of the moment. He further submits that the deponent of the affidavit of the present bail application is the informant himself, who happens to be the father of the petitioner and from perusal of the bail application it has been stated that there was no motive or intention to kill the deceased rather it was in the heat of the moment that the incident took place and due to the injuries inflicted by the petitioner his sister subsequently died. It has lastly been stated that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent and he is in custody since 16.08.2024.

5. Learned counsel for the State has vehemently opposed the prayer for bail of the petitioner and has stated that the even if the act was done in the fit of rage, he has committed a crime of killing his own sister and hence does not deserve to be released on bail.

6. Considering the aforesaid facts of the case and taking into account the fact that the petitioner had assaulted his own sister and killed her by inflicting knife blow, I am not inclined to grant the privilege of regular bail to the petitioner.

7.The bail application is hereby rejected.
