As per prosecution story, on 13.11.2023 when the complainant was in his house at about 8.00 p.m. his neighbor has informed that the applicant is assaulting his mother Suman (deceased) by stick and Suman became unconscious at her home.

Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the crime in question. He further submits that in a sudden heat of passion, the alleged offence has been committed. He further submits that out of 20 witnesses, only 6 have been examined till date. The applicant is in jail since 14.11.2023 and the trial is likely to some time to be finalized, therefore, it is prayed that the applicant may be enlarged on bail. 4. Per contra, learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the State opposes the bail application and submits that eye-witness/victim of the case Subhash Kumar Kol has stated against the applicant, therefore, the applicant may not be released on bail. 5. I have heard learned Counsel appearing for the parties and perused the material available on record. 6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, evidence collected by the prosecution against the applicant and the fact that some important witnesses remain to be examined, at this stage, without further commenting on merits of the case, I am not inclined to release the applicant on bail. 7. Accordingly, the bail application is Rejected. However, the concerned Trial Court is directed to expedite the trial and to ensure that the trial is concluded as expeditiously as possible. 8. Office is directed to sent a certified copy of this order to the Trial Court concerned for information and necessary compliance, if any. Sd/- (Sanjay Kumar Jaiswal) Judge Shubham
