It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and the co-accused- Noor Ansari @ Nurullah Ansari @ Md. Nurullah and Mumtaz Ansari have been admitted to bail vide orders dated 03.04.2025 and 27.08.2025 in B.A. Nos.2642 of 2025 and 4187 of 2025 respectively. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 12.10.2024 as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 01 of the bail application and the case of the petitioner is better than that of Noor Ansari and Mumtaz Ansari who were admitted to bail. It is then submitted that there is land dispute between the parties as well. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be admitted to bail. The learned Addl. P.P. and the learned counsel for the informant on the other hand vehemently opposes the prayer for bail and submits that keeping in view the serious nature of allegation against the petitioner, there is every chance of the petitioner absconding and tampering with evidence, if released on bail. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner ought not be admitted to bail. Considering the serious nature of allegation against the petitioner of being in criminal conspiracy with the co-accused person and in furtherance of common intention was assaulting the deceased with sharp cutting weapon which resulted in his death as well as the chance of the petitioner absconding and tampering with evidence, if released on bail, this Court is of the considered view that this is not a fit case where the abovenamed petitioner be admitted to bail. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the abovenamed petitioner is rejected. (Anil Kumar Choudhary, J.) 05.12.2025 Sonu/Gunjan-
