The prosecution case, in brief, is that on 10.01.2024, at about 8:00-8:30 pm, in front of house of Vishram Dhruwat at Village Koni, the applicant assaulted his father Arjun Dhruw, with bricks and a knife, leading to his death during treatment. Based on the complaint, police has arrested the applicant and registered the case for the offence as mentioned above. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case. He next submits that the prosecution has failed to produce any evidence regarding involvement of the applicant in commission of the said offence and applicant has no criminal antecedents and he is in jail since 11.01.2024. There is no likelihood of his case being decided in the near future, therefore, the present applicant may be released on bail. 4. On the other hand, learned counsel for the State opposed the bail application, submitting that the trial is at final stage, with 12 out of 15 witnesses have already been examined, therefore, at this stage, he may not be enlarged on bail. 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary. 6. Considering the entire facts and circumstances of the case, particularly looking to the material available on record and the evidence against the applicant, further considering the fact that the trial is at final stage, with 12 out of 15 witnesses have already been examined, therefore, I am not inclined to release the applicant on bail. 3 7. Accordingly, the bail application filed under Section 483 of BNSS, 2023 is rejected. However, concerned trial Court is directed to conclude the trial as expeditiously as possible. 8. Office is directed to sent a certified copy of this order to the trial Court concerned for necessary information and compliance forthwith. Sd/- (Sanjay Kumar Jaiswal) Judge Sourabh P.
