2 injury of neck. FIR was registered and after recording statement of witnesses the present applicant and other co-accused persons have been arrested on 07.03.2024 and on the memorandum statement of the present applicant blood-stained clothes of the applicant has been seized. After completion of investigation, charge sheet has been filed.
3.
Learned Counsel for the applicant would submit that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the offencce. There is no eye-witness to the incident. There is no material to connect the applicant in the crime in question. Motive has not been proved to commit murder of deceased by the applicant. The prosecution has projected the statement of wife of deceased as deceased was having evil eye upon the wife of the co-accused Ashraf Ansari and with the connivance of the other co-accused the present applicant is also involved in commission of murder of the deceased, but there is no evidence to that effect in the entire charge sheet. There is no FSL report that the clothes seized from the applicant was stained with human blood. The applicant is in jail since 07.03.2024 and the adjudication of the case will take its own time. Therefore, the present applicant may be enlarged on bail. 4. On the other hand, learned counsel for the State opposes the bail application and submits that Shabnam Khatoon, wife of the deceased, has stated that on 05.08.2024 the applicant and the deceased left the marriage place together and after some time when she made telephonic call on the mobile phone of deceased, the co-accused Ashraf Ansari replied that they are in jungle and will return after some time. In the next morning the dead body of deceased was found in Jungle and his mobile phone was also found near the dead body. She would further submit that on the basis of memorandum statement of the applicant the blood-stained clothes of the applicant has been seized. The motive has been projected that the deceased was having evil eye upon the wife of the co-accused Ashraf Ansari and with the collision with the present applicant they committed murder of the deceased. She would further
3 submit that the bail application of co-accused Ashraf Ansari has been rejected by this Court vide order dated 25.11.2024 passed in MCRC No.6224 of 2024 and bail application of co-accused Maksud Ansari has been rejected vide order dated 04.09.2025 passed in MCRC No.6124 of 2025 by this Court. Therefore, the present applicant is also not entitled for bail. 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the material annexed with the bail application. 6.
Considering the submissions made by learned counsel for the parties, considering the nature of allegation and the material collected during investigation, further considering the gravity of the offence, the fact that the blood-stained clothes has been seized from the present applicant, the statement of the wife of deceased as well as the fact that bail application of two co-accused persons, Ashraf Ansari and Maksud Ansari have been rejected by this Court, I am not inclined to release the applicant on bail. 7. Accordingly, the present bail application filed by the applicant is rejected. Sd/- (Ravindra Kumar Agrawal) Judge Aadil
