When the photograph of the dead body was made viral on social media, then first information report has been lodged by the wife of the deceased. 3.Learned counsel for the applicant submits that in the post mortem report, cause of death could not be ascertained. Viscera was preserved. There is no evidence against the applicant except a false recovery of mobile, to which there is no independent witness. The applicant has been falsely implicated. The applicant has no previous criminal history. The applicant is in jail since 30.10.2022. The co-accused Anshuman Singh has been granted vide order dated 23.2.2023 passed in Bail No.1529 of 2023, placed on record at page 79 of the paper book. It is next submitted that although it is a case of the prosecution that deceased was given an injunction and due to that, he died, however, viscera report denies the prosecution case. It is further submitted that there is no possibility of the applicant of fleeing away after being released on bail or tampering with the witnesses. In case the applicant is enlarged on bail, he shall not misuse the liberty of bail. 3.Learned A.G.A. opposed the prayer for bail and submitted on the basis of record that in the viscera no poison has been found. 4.Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, including the fact that the applicant has no criminal history, bail order of the co-accused Anshuman Singh, first information report has been lodged against unknown person(s), there is no eye witness to the incident, cause of death has not been ascertained, nothing has been found in the viscera report and there is no injury on the body of the deceased, arguments advanced by learned counsel for the parties, the applicant is in jail since and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I am prima facie satisfied that it is a fit case for enlarging the applicant on bail.
