The complainant and his second wife along with their children were residing at Pandith Deen Dayal Colony. Accused No.1 being the son of first wife was running a pan shop and was quarreling with second wife of the complainant, as she was having illicit intimacy with other person of that area.

At that time, accused Nos.1 to 3 went by the side of the pan shop and were talking in a low voice and he heard that they intended to finish him in the night. Thereafter, all the three persons went away saying that they have got some work and thereafter Akash and Shivappa who were present there, went to their house.

I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned High Court Government Pleader appearing for respondent State. 4. The main grounds urged by the learned counsel for the petitioner are that already accused No.4 has been released on bail by this Court in Criminal Petition No.201083/2016 and even on the ground of parity, the petitioner is entitled to be released on bail. It is contended that the petitioner is innocent and there are no overtacts on the part of the petitioner. It is also contended that accused No.1 has assaulted the deceased on her head with stone and he has slit the neck of Asha with knife. It is further contended that already the investigation has been completed and charge-sheet has been filed, therefore, the petitioner is not required for the purpose of investigation or interrogation. On these grounds, he prays for allowing the petition. 5. On the contrary, learned High Court Government Pleader appearing for the respondent State vehemently contended that there are eyewitnesses to the alleged incident. There is prima-facie material to show that the petitioner is involved in a heinous offence of causing the death of two persons. He has further contended that at this juncture, if the petitioner is released on bail, he may tamper with the prosecution witnesses, he may abscond and he may not be available for trial. On these grounds, he prays for dismissal of the petition. 6. I have gone through the copy of the FIR, complaint and other material produced along with the petition. 7. As could be seen from the complaint and other material, it disclose that the alleged offence has taken place at about 9.00 p.m. on 19.06.2016. On these grounds, he prays for dismissal of the petition. 6. I have gone through the copy of the FIR, complaint and other material produced along with the petition. 7. As could be seen from the complaint and other material, it disclose that the alleged offence has taken place at about 9.00 p.m. on 19.06.2016. At that time, the petitioner caught hold the deceased and accused No.1 has assaulted on the forehead and head of the deceased with stone. The complainant has also stated that thereafter when the daughter of deceased Asha came there to rescue the deceased, the accused persons caught hold and took her to some distance and there accused No.2 assaulted her with stick and accused No.3 has also made her to fall on the ground. At that time, accused No.1 sat on her chest and slit her with knife. By going through the said material and the statement of the witnesses, in the statement, they have specifically stated about the overtacts of each of the accused persons. In that light, there appears to be prima-facie case made out against the petitioner. As such, I feel that it is not just and proper to release the petitioner on bail, that too when the petitioner has involved in a serious offence like causing the murder of two persons. Accordingly, the petition is dismissed.
