Case of prosecution in brief is that on 15.10.2023 at about 5:30 AM, about 08-10 persons entered into the house of deceased, assaulted him and his wife and ran away. In the incident due to assault of accused persons, Chandrashekhar Giri Goswami succumbed to injuries and his wife Archana Giri Goswami suffered injuries. Incident was reported to concerned police station upon which Hemendra Giri Goswami and Hem Giri Goswami were arrested. Based upon their memorandum applicant was arrested. 3. Learned counsel for applicant submits that applicant has been falsely implicated in the crime, he has not committed offence as alleged. He further submits that except memorandum statement of two named accused i.e. Hemendra Giri Goswami and Hem Giri Goswami there is no connecting evidence available on record. He also contended that during course of investigation police has shown seizure of one club and cash of Rs.20,000/- from the possession of the applicant. Applicant is in jail since 16.10.2023. Witnesses to memorandum of seizure and memorandum statement have been examined before trial Court by name Bhanupratap Dhimar (PW-11) and Rekhram Dhruv (PW-14) and they have not supported the case of prosecution. 4. On the other hand, learned counsel for State opposes the submission made by learned counsel for applicant and would submit that wife of deceased Archna Giri Goswami who lodged report has specifically named Hemendra Giri Goswami and Hem Giri Goswami to be accused persons and during course of investigation, based on their memorandum statement, applicant was arrested. He submits that after 3 their arrest one club and cash of Rs. 20,000/- was seized from the applicant. Hence he may not be enlarged on bail. 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the documents enclosed along with the bail application. 6. Taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case, nature of allegation, submission of learned counsel for the respective parties, period of pre-trial detention of applicant and submission of learned counsel for the State, without commenting anything on merits of the case, I am inclined to allow this application. 7.
