02. In the present case, the petitioner seeks bail in connection with Morkahi P.S. Case No. 24 of 2025 registered on 26.02.2025 for the alleged offences under Sections 109, 103(1) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 and Section 26, 27(1), 27(3), 37 of the Arms Act.

03. As per prosecution case, the son-in-law of the informant shot at his paramour and also shot dead his wife.

04. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is innocent and has been falsely implicated in this case. No occurrence in the manner as alleged has ever taken place. There is no eye witness to the alleged occurrence. The FIR was lodged after delay of one day when the inquest and postmortem reports were received. No incriminating article was seized from the petitioner. The petitioner did not try to run away and this

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.46203 of 2025(3) dt.11-09-2025 2/2 shows his innocence, otherwise the petitioner would have bolted if he was guilty of shooting two persons. Learned counsel further submits that the petitioner is having clean antecedent. The petitioner is in custody since 26.02.2025 and charge-sheet has been submitted.

05. Learned APP for the State opposes the submission made on behalf of the petitioner. Learned APP submits that the victim Muniya Devi has given her statement wherein she stated that this petitioner shot at her and fled away from the spot leaving her in injured condition. Further, the witnesses have stated that after reaching his house the petitioner also shot dead his wife.

06. Having regard to the facts and circumstances and submissions made on behalf of the parties and considering the serious nature of allegation against the petitioner of causing death of one person and shooting at another, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Hence, his prayer for bail is rejected.

07. The learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial and conclude the same at the earliest.
