**** A.B. CHAUDHARI, J (Oral) Heard learned counsel for the rival parties.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits there is no semblance of evidence against the petitioner with the prosecution, but the challan has been filed. Petitioner was arrested on 21.01.2016 and is in Jail since then.

Learned State counsel as well as learned counsel for the complainant vehemently opposed the petition for grant of bail to the petitioner on the ground that the petitioner and his relatives have indulged in further assaulting the other members of the family of the deceased and threatening the complainant and therefore, the petitioner should not be released on bail.
