2. The case of the prosecution is that due to previous enmity, the petitioner herein and other accused attacked the defacto complainant and at that time, the son of the defacto complainant intervened and that they have attacked him also and caused death injuries. Hence, the case.

3. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the respondent and perused the materials available on record.

4. Considering the nature of allegations that due to the land dispute between the neighbours, the petitioner along with the other accused said to have attacked the father of the deceased and thereafter, when both sides were taken to the hospital for treatment, in the hospital, another clash broke out, in which the son was killed and the father was seriously injured and considering the fact that the petitioner is in jail 2/5

from 30.05.2024 and considering the fact that the investigation is now completed and the matter is pending committal in PRC No.9 of 2024, I am inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail.

5. Accordingly, this Criminal Original Petition is allowed and the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail, on executing a bond for a sum of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only) with two sureties each for a like sum to the satisfaction of the learned Judicial Magistrate, Thiruchuli.
