1. List revised. 2. Heard Sri Virendra Singh Tomar, learned counsel for the applicant and Sri Ajay Singh, learned A.G.A.-I for the State and perused the material on record. 3. This bail application under Section 483 of B.N.S.S., 2023 has been filed by the applicant- Sudama Prasad Verma @ Sudama, seeking enlargement on bail during trial in connection with Case Crime No. 225 of 2024, under Section 105 B.N.S., Police Station Manikpur, District Chitrakoot. 4. The first information report of the present matter was lodged on 16.12.2024 by Ramdhani Saket against the applicant only alleging therein that the marriage of his sister was solemnized with the applicant around 8-9 years back. The accused often in an intoxicated condition used to assault her. In the meantime, his sister came to her maternal house and started living there. An application about it was given to the Police Station Kotwali Satna. Around one week back the accused took his sister back to his house. Yesterday on 14.12.2024 he received an information from Harimani Verma a relative that the applicant assaulted his sister on her head with a saria and she was taken to the hospital for treatment but she died. 5. Learned counsel for the applicant submitted that although the applicant is the husband of the deceased but he has been falsely implicated in the present case. While placing paragraph 20 of the affidavit it is submitted that the deceased slipped from the stairs while she was doing whitewash on the wall received injuries and died. It is submitted that there is no independent witness to the incident. The applicant has no criminal history as stated in para 25 and is in jail since 18.12.2024. 6. Per contra, learned counsel for the State vehemently opposed the prayer for bail and argued that the deceased received serious head injuries which can be seen from the postmortem examination report which are as under:-
"Injury No.1, Abraded Contusion over forehead size 03cm x 02cm. Injury No.2, Contusion present over left side of tempro parietal region and left side of face size 15cm x 12 cm.
Injury No.3, Abraded Contusion present over right side of face angle of mandible region size 04cm x 03cm."
7. It is submitted that the cause of death is hemorrhage and shock due to antemortem head injury. It is submitted that the applicant is the sole accused named in the first information report. 8. After having heard learned counsel for the parties and perusing the record, it is evident that the applicant is the only accused named in the first information report. There are allegations against the applicant of assaulting upon the deceased. The medical evidence corroborates with the prosecution story. There is an averment in the first information report regarding the complaint being made even earlier against the applicant assaulting the deceased. No ground for bail is made out. 9. Looking to the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court does not find it a fit case for bail, hence, the bail application is rejected. 10. Pending application (s), if any, shall stand disposed of. Order Date :- 23.5.2025 AS Rathore (Samit Gopal,J.) Digitally signed by :- ABHISHEK SINGH RATHOR High Court of Judicature at Allahabad
