It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioner is false. It is further submitted that because of village rivalry, this false case has been foisted against the petitioner. It is also submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 01.02.2026. Hence it is submitted that the petitioner be released on bail. Learned Addl. P.P. appearing for the State and the learned counsel for the informant vehemently oppose the prayer for bail and submit that keeping in view the serious nature of allegation against the petitioner, there is every chance of the petitioner absconding and tampering with the evidence if released on bail. It is, therefore, submitted that the petitioner ought not be released on bail at this stage. Considering the serious nature of allegation against the petitioner as well as his chance of absconding and tampering with the evidence, this Court is of the considered view that this is not a fit case where the above-named petitioner be released on bail.
