[2025:RJ-JP:35788] (3 of 4) [CRLMB-6253/2025] 5. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner-accused and learned Public Prosecutor. Perused the material placed on record by both the parties. 6. On the basis of information of death of Mohan Lal received on 03.05.2024 his nephew Bhagwan Singh has registered a report in police station on 03.05.2024. The incident is 2-3 days old and on information, he reached crime scene. During investigation, police has found that Dhapu Bai, who is wife of present petitioner was having illicit relation with Mohal Lal and present petitioner is annoyed with the relation between deceased Mohan Lal and Dhapu Bai. After investigation, police has filed charge-sheet against Dhapu Bai and present petitioner Prem Singh for murder of Mohan Lal in furtherance of common intention. The case of prosecution revolved around testimony of daughter of present petitioner and to fortify and to secure the case, her statement under Section 164 Cr.P.C. was recorded on 08.05.2024 and same is part of police charge-sheet. The daughter of present petitioner Shivani was examined before the trial court on 11.06.2025 as PW-7 and she has turned hostile. Learned Public Prosecutor has referred electronic evidence. The list of evidence is too long but still the petitioner is in custody since 04.07.2024 and period of custody is only one year one month. 7. The facts and the material indicate that the alleged offence are of serious nature and role attributed to applicant is prima facie sufficient to consider complicity of applicant in the crime. Therefore, at this juncture, considering the evidence [2025:RJ-JP:35788] (4 of 4) [CRLMB-6253/2025] collected so far, this is not a fit case to enlarge the applicant accused on bail. 8. Considering the gravity of allegations and overall facts and circumstances of the case, it is appropriate to dismiss the bail application of the applicant accused at this stage. 9. Accordingly, the application for bail filed under Section 483 of BNSS preferred by Prem Singh S/o Amar Singh @ Amarlal is hereby dismissed. The Trial Court is directed to expedite the trial.
