                 CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE PARTHA SARTHY
                                       ORAL ORDER

3   01-07-2026                  Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned

                   A.P.P. for the State and learned counsel for the informant.

                                2. The petitioner has preferred this application for

                   grant of regular bail in connection with Motihari Town P.S. Case

                   no.561 of 2025 registered under sections 103(1) and 3(5) of the

                   Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.

                                3. As per the prosecution case, the informant states

                   that the petitioner entered his house and caused grievous injuries

                   on his elder brother with a knife. The informant’s elder brother

                   was taken to the hospital where he died. The informant further

                   states that the other accused persons named in the F.I.R. have a

                   hand in getting the occurrence carried out. There is enmity

                   between the parties.

                       4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the

          petitioner has been falsely implicated in the case because of

          enmity between the parties which would be evident from the

          contents of the F.I.R. itself. There is no eye-witness to the

          alleged occurrence and so far as the CCTV footage is

          concerned, the authenticity of the same still needs to be verified.

          The petitioner has remained in custody for more than 1 year

          since 21.6.2025 and investigation in the case is complete. The

          petitioner is a 19 year old boy and undertakes to cooperate in the

          investigation/trial. He has no criminal antecedent.

                       5. The prayer for bail is opposed by learned A.P.P for

          the State and learned counsel for the informant. Learned counsel

          for the informant submits referring to the material that has

          transpired in course of investigation and the order of the learned

          trial Court rejecting the application for bail of the petitioner that

          in the CCTV footage, it has clearly come that the petitioner

          entered the house of the elder brother of the informant and came

          out followed by the elder brother of the informant coming out in

          an injured condition as a result of the petitioner having assaulted

          him in his stomach with a knife. The injury proved fatal. Thus

          the petitioner is the assailant of the deceased.

                       6. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and

                                                        3/3




                      taking into consideration the allegations against the petitioner in

                      the F.I.R., the contents of the CCTV footage which has

                      transpired in course of investigation, the corresponding injury

                      having been found in the postmortem report all leading to

                      substantiate the allegations of the petitioner being the assailant

                      of the deceased, the Court is not inclined to enlarge the

                      petitioner on bail and the application is rejected.
