The petitioners, who were arrested and remanded to judicial custody on 16.09.2024 for the alleged offence punishable under Section 194 of BNSS altered to Section 103, 238 of BNS in Crime No.178 of 2024, on the file of the respondent police, seek bail.

2. The case of the prosecution is that the petitioners along with other accused said to have brutally assaulted the deceased on his head and murdered him. Hence, the case.

3. Learned Counsel for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners are innocent persons, they have been falsely implicated in this case for the murder of the deceased. They have not committed any offence as alleged in the FIR. He further submitted that petitioners were arrested on 16.09.2024. Hence, he prays for grant of bail to the petitioner.

4. Learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) appearing for the respondent police submitted that the petitioners along with other accused

said to have brutally assaulted the deceased on his head and murdered him. He further submitted that investigation is at initial stage, thereby, he strongly opposed for the grant of bail to the petitioners.

4. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) and perused the materials available on record.

5. Considering the submissions made by the learned counsel on either side, considering the fact that the investigation in this case has not been completed and also considering the grave nature of the offence and also considering all the above factors, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioners at this stage.

6. Accordingly, this Criminal Original Petition is dismissed. 25.10.2024 smn
