Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the crime in question. The applicant has assaulted the deceased only with hands and fists. He further submits that the applicant is in jail since 01.12.2025, the charge-sheet has been filed and the trial has not commenced till date it is likely to take time to be finalized, therefore, it is prayed that the applicant may be enlarged on bail. 4. Per contra, learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the State opposes the bail application and submits that there was a head injury, this is the case of direct evidence against the applicant, there are 3 eye- witnesses in this case, therefore, looking to the nature of offence, the applicant may not be released on bail. 5. I have heard learned Counsel appearing for the parties and perused the material available on record. 6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, evidence collected by the prosecution against the applicant, without commenting on merits of the case, I am not inclined to release the applicant on bail. 7. Accordingly, the bail application is rejected. Sd/- (Sanjay Kumar Jaiswal) Judge Shubham
