On the other hand, learned counsel for the State would oppose the bail application. 5. I have heard counsel for the parties and perused the case diary. 3 6. From the perusal of the case diary, it appears that some altercation took place between the applicants and the complainant party and during the said scuffle, applicant Jeevanlal assaulted with axe on his head as a result of which he died. No doubt, there are cross reports of the incident but in the present case, deceased on account of the injuries sustained by him on his head and its complications and there are eyewitnesses to the incident, therefore looking to the nature and gravity of the allegations levelled against them applicants, I am not inclined to release them on bail.
