Considering facts of the case, nature of allegations, statements of the prosecution witnesses, further the fact that deceased was in drunken condition on the date of alleged incident, as per post-mortem report, cause of death of deceased due to coma by head injury, there is no any other previous criminal antecedent against the applicants, further considering that there is no evidence/material which shows that applicants have made any attempt to tamper with the prosecution witnesses, applicants are not having any previous antecedent, period of detention of applicant ie since 08.09.2024, charge-sheet has been filed, without commenting anything on merits of the case, I am inclined to allow this bail application. 3 7.
