4. According to the prosecution case, this appellant has fired upon the informant's grandson resulting into his death.

5. Learned counsel for the appellant submits that appellant is innocent and he has falsely been implicated in the present case. The allegation as alleged in the FIR is false and fabricated and the appellant has not committed any offence as alleged in the FIR and he has been made accused in the present case merely on the basis of suspicion and except the suspicion nothing has come during investigation which suggest the involvement of the appellant in the present occurrence.

6. Learned Special Public Prosecutor for the State on the basis of material available on record and the case diary has vehemently opposed the prayer for bail of the appellant and submits that from perusal of the FIR it appears that the specific allegation of firing is against the appellant and in the present case, the grandson of the informant has died and number of witnesses have supported the case of the prosecution and even the medical report also supports the allegation as alleged in the FIR.

7. Considering the nature of allegation as alleged in the FIR supported by the medical evidence, I am not inclined to

Patna High Court CR. APP (SJ) No.4106 of 2025(5) dt.14-05-2026 3/3 enlarge the appellant on bail in connection with Khajauli P.S. Case No. 279 of 2024 pending in the Court of learned Additional Sessions Judge, 1st cum Special Judge SC/ST Atrocities Act, Madhubani.

8. Accordingly, the impugned order is affirmed and this appeal stands dismissed.
