2. The learned Additional Public Prosecutor made a submission that the accused had attacked his father and he died and a case has been registered under Section 302 of IPC and investigation is in progress. The murderous attack happened due to some family dispute between the two daughter-in-laws. The accused son supported one daughter-in-law and attacked his own father with wooden log, which resulted in the death of his father.

3. This Court is of the considered opinion that investigation is still in progress and granting of bail at this point of time would cause prejudice to the free and fair investigation to be conducted by the police officials. Thus it is not the appropriate situation to grant bail to petitioner. In these circumstances the https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 1/2

6.Hence the petition stands dismissed.
