4. Mr. N.K. Agrawal, the learned Senior Counsel for the petitioner has submitted that there is allegation that all the accused persons assaulted the deceased, but only one injury was found on the head of the deceased, which was caused by a hard and blunt substance. The petitioner has been in custody since 31.05.2025.
5. On the other hand, the learned counsel for the informant has opposed the prayer for bail and submitted that the main allegation of inflicting an assault by katha on the head of the deceased is against the petitioner. The post-mortem report corroborates the allegation. She has further submitted that if the blunt side of the katha is used for infliction, the injury may be caused by hard and blunt substance.
6. In my view, the petitioner does not deserve the privileges of bail, which is hereby rejected. (Nawneet Kumar Pandey, J) Nirmal/- U T
