1. The petitioner says that he is in custody for 220 days. He had no intention to kill the victim. The incident arose out of a dispute concerning land. The injury suffered by the victim was not on the vital parts of the body. He says that other accused persons are all out on bail. He prays for bail.

2. While opposing the prayer for bail, learned State Counsel says that the petitioner is the principal accused. The victim succumbed to the injury caused by this petitioner. Charge is yet to be framed. The other accused persons were granted bail because of their insignificant role in the alleged incident.

3. We have seen the material in the case diary and considered the facts and circumstances of the case. The petitioner assaulted the victim with a knife. There is sufficient incriminating material against the petitioner at least prima facie.

4. In view of the aforesaid, we are not inclined to allow the petitioner's prayer for bail, at this stage. The prayer for bail is rejected

5. The application being CRM (DB) 376 of 2025 is accordingly dismissed.
