When the deceased along with his friend went to village Dighora, the applicant took the deceased and his friend to his home and called the co-accused persons there where they assaulted the deceased whereby he died. Thereafter, the present applicant was arrested. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant would submit that the dispute was between the deceased and the family of Geeta Yadav and earlier a report was lodged by the mother of Geeta Yadav against the deceased. He would next contend that the family members had shifted Geeta Yadav to village Dighora and when the deceased along with his friend Deepak came to village Dighora then the present applicant has informed the parents of Geeta Yadav about the same and the present applicant was not involved in the crime or criminal conspiracy and there is no allegation about the involvement of the present applicant, therefore, the applicant may be released on bail. 4. Per contra, learned State counsel opposes the prayer for grant of bail. 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the documents 3 / 3 and the case-diary. 6. From perusal of the record it is found that there was a love affair between the deceased and Geeta Yadav, therefore, the parents of Geeta Yadav i.e. the other co-accused shifted the girl to village Dighora and the present applicant is the uncle’s son (Mama Ka beta) of Geeta and when the deceased along with his friend Deepak came to village Dighora, then the present applicant informed the same to the parents of Geeta through his mobile phone. Therefore, considering the entire facts & circumstances of the case and also considering the role played by the present applicant as the criminal conspiracy to commit the murder of the deceased has been established against the applicant, I am not inclined to release the applicant on bail. 7. Accordingly, the bail application is rejected. SD/- SD/- (Arvind Kumar Verma) JUDGE ashu
