He next submits along with ligature mark, other injuries were also found upon the body of the deceased and that has come in the post mortem report, which is the part of the case diary. On these grounds, he submits that anticipatory bail may kindly [ 2026:JHHC:14281 ] -2- be rejected. 5. Looking into the contents of the post-mortem report, it transpires that it has come in the said report that there are multiple scratch abrasions, size varying from 6 cm x 1/4 cm to 1/4 cm to 1/4 cm present on front of both legs, 1 cm x 1/4 cm, 1/2 cm x 1/4 cm on left side of just above lip, 1/2 cm x 1/2 cm on left angle of mouth and 1/4 cm x 1/4 cm on left side of the chin and the said abrasions are caused by hard and blunt substance and the abrasions are ante-mortem in nature. 6. In view of the above, prima facie, it appears that this is not a case of suicide and in the attending facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to petitioner. Accordingly, his prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected. (Sanjay Kumar Dwivedi, J.) Dated:-11.05.2026 Amitesh/-
