months and requested to allow the application. 4.

It is contention of learned APP that the deceased was staying with the applicant. As the deceased had taken the sound box of the applicant, the applicant assaulted him with iron angle and the co-accused assaulted the deceased with fists and kick blows. Due to the assault by the applicant, the deceased died. If the applicant is released on bail, he may abscond or threaten the prosecution witnesses and requested to reject the application.

It appears that the incident occurred suddenly. The applicant had intention to kill the deceased or not is part of evidence. The applicant has no antecedents. He is behind bars for more than seven months, it may take time to conclude the trial. Hence, I pass following order:
