6. Learned counsel has next stated that there are general and omnibus allegations against all the accused persons. No particular role has been assigned to any accused person. The case, to the maximum, may fall within the category of general exceptions to culpable homicide as injuries sustained by the injured persons and the deceased were simple in nature and no bony injury has been observed. It is next stated that although the said injuries are on vital part of the body, but were simple in nature. 7. Learned counsel has next stated that it is true that one person has lost his life but the case has been escalated to that of murder by the informant.
It may fall within the category of culpable homicide not amounting to murder, as such the applicant is entitled for bail. 8. There is no criminal history of the applicant. The applicant is languishing in jail since 22.06.2025 and he is ready to cooperate with trial. In case, the applicant is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail. 9. Learned counsel for the informant as well as learned A.G.A have vehemently opposed the bail application on the ground that the applicant is named in the FIR and he along with other family members has caused injuries to three persons in all and one of the person is stated to have succumbed to the injuries. Both the injured witnesses have nominated the applicant in the incident. 10. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, submissions made by learned counsel for the parties, the evidence on record and taking into consideration the delay in institution of the FIR coupled by the fact that injuries sustained by both the injured persons were simple in nature and there being general and omnibus allegations against all the accused persons, the Court is of the view that the applicant has made out a case for bail. The bail application is allowed. 11. Let the applicant- Sarvendra, who is involved in aforementioned case crime be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond and two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned subject to following conditions.
