Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.49719 of 2025(5) dt.19-09-2025 2/3 petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated in the present case. No incriminating material has been recovered from the conscious possession of the petitioner. Specific allegation of assault is levelled allegedly against petitioner.

Learned APP for the State has vehemently opposed the prayer for grant of bail to the petitioner. As per postmortem report, cause of death is not ascertained, but there is direct allegation against the petitioner, hence he does not deserve the privilege of bail.

Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case and taking into the fact that there is direct allegation against the petitioner that he pressed a rod on the chest of informant's son, causing suffocation and death, this Court at this stage is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Prayer for bail is rejected.

7.

The Trial Court is directed to expedite the trial as

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.49719 of 2025(5) dt.19-09-2025 3/3 expeditiously as possible without any undue delay and unnecessary adjournments.
