Mr.Lalan Kumar ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE SUNIL KUMAR PANWAR ORAL ORDER 02-02-2023 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned APP for the State.

The petitioner has prayed for bail in connection with Obra P.S. Case No. 140 of 2022 instituted for the offence under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code.

Allegation against the petitioner is of stabbing knife blow on the abdomen of the informant's son as a result of which he sustained injuries and while he was being taken to hospital, informant's son died on the way.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is innocent and committed no offence. The wife of the petitioner always resided in her paternal house as a result of which, relation between the informant and petitioner was not good and due to which the petitioner has falsely been implicated

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.56905 of 2022(3) dt.02-02-2023 2/2 in this case. It is further submitted that the petitioner is languishing in judicial custody since 5.5.2022. Learned APP appearing for the state has opposed the prayer of regular bail and submitted that there is direct allegation against the petitioner of committing murder of the informant's son by stabbing knife blow. As per the postmortem report, multiple stab wounds found caused by sharp metallic weapon and doctor also opined that the cause of death may be due to severe haemorrhage & hypovolaemic shock which corroborates the prosecution case.

Having heard the learned counsel for the parties and considering the fact that the direct allegation of committing murder is against the petitioner, this Court is not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail and, as such, his prayer for bail stands rejected.

The trial Court is directed to expedite the trial and conclude the same as early as possible.
