The instant application has been filed seeking release of the applicant on bail in Case Crime No. 35 of 2024, under Section 304 IPC, Police Station- Bela, District- Auraiya, during pendency of the trial in the court below. 3. FIR of the present case was lodged on 24.02.2024 against applicant under Section 304 IPC and according to FIR, on 23.02.2024, under intoxication applicant started quarreling with the wife of his brother i.e. informant and when his mother and sisters tried to intervene then he suddenly gave a blow of wooden stick on the head of his mother due to which, she died. 4. Learned counsel for the applicant submitted that applicant is the son of the deceased and however, as per allegation, he gave a blow of wooden stick on her head, therefore, she died but from perusal of the FIR and statements of the witnesses, it could not be reflected that applicant was having any intention to cause death of his mother and even from the record, it reflects that at the time of incident, he was under intoxication. 5. He further submitted that applicant is not having any criminal history and he is in jail in the present matter since 25.02.2024 i.e. for last almost a year. 6. Per contra, learned AGA however, opposed the prayer for bail but could not dispute the argument on facts advanced by learned counsel for the applicant. 7. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record of the case. 8. However, as per allegation, applicant made assault through wooden sticks upon his mother due to which, she died but it reflects that at the time of incident, applicant was under intoxication and post-mortem report suggests that deceased sustained single injury on her head. 9. Further, from the FIR and other material available on record, it could not be reflected that applicant was having intention to cause death of his mother i.e. deceased. 10. Further, applicant is not having any criminal history and he is in jail in the present matter since 25.02.2024 i.e. for last almost a year. 11. Therefore, considering the facts and circumstances of the case discussed above, in my view applicant is entitled to be released on bail. 12. Accordingly, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the instant bail application is allowed. 13.
