Shri T.A. Mirza, A.P.P. for the respondent / State. CORAM : Z.A.HAQ, J.

DATE : 14.6.2017.

Heard.

The applicant is arrested on 18th June, 2016 in crime registered against him for the offence punishable under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code on the accusations that because of dispute in relation to agricultural land the applicant has assaulted his son, aged about 32 years, by an axe and the blow given by him proved to be fatal.

The application is opposed on the ground that there is ample evidence against the applicant about involvement of the applicant in the crime, including extra-judicial confession made by the applicant to his wife.

The applicant claims to be an Agriculturist and is not involved in any other crime / offence. The charge-sheet is filed. The investigating agency has not

2 ba222.17 been able to show that custody of the applicant is required for further investigation.

Considering the facts of the case, in my view, the applicant is entitled to be released on bail. Hence, the following order:

The applicant having been arrested in Crime No.54/2016 registered by the non-applicant, he be released on bail on furnishing P.R. bond for Rs.50,000/- (Rs. Fifty Thousand) and two solvent sureties in the like amount.

The application is allowed in the above terms. JUDGE Tambaskar.
