Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.4523 of 2021(3) dt.14-07-2021 2/3 Informant's son, as per the prosecution case, has been killed by the injuries sustained upon his head, which have been attributed to the petitioner. The motive is that part of the tree, which has been cut, has fallen near the petitioner's Darwaja and when the informant's son had gone to collect the tree, he has been assaulted along with all other members of the family.

It is submitted by the petitioner's counsel that for a trivial dispute regarding cutting of tree, a free fight has taken place between the parties and in the process the informant's son has been injured, leading to his death. Having no criminal antecedents, the petitioner is in custody since 09.09.2020. Learned APP for the State has opposed the prayer for bail. He submits that there is specific allegation of assault by Farsa on the head of the victim. As per the inquest report found in the case diary and as per the post-mortem report, xerox copy of which has been supplied by the petitioner in the supplementary affidavit, death has occurred owing to the head injury. Petitioner is the author of the said injury. Considering the rival submissions, this Court, for the present, is not inclined to allow the petitioner's prayer for bail. The same is rejected.
