He also submits that the Post- Mortem Report shows that the deceased died due to the said stab injury and he also submits that the trial is at the fag end and that bail may not be considered at this stage. 5. Upon consideration of the submissions made by the learned counsel for all the parties, this Court finds as follows:- The complicity of the petitioner was clearly stated in the FIR and that the Post- Mortem Report also shows that the deceased died due to the stab injury given by the petitioner. Further, it is also seen that the trial is at the fag end. It is further seen that the deceased is the own uncle of the petitioner, who had come to stop the fight amongst the brothers and instead of listening to the uncle, the petitioner had stabbed on the stomach of his own uncle.
