Learned Addl. P.P. appearing for the State vehemently opposes the prayer for bail and submits that keeping in view of the direct allegation against the petitioner of assaulting the deceased along with the members of an unlawful assembly with lathi, danda (stick) and sword, there is every chance of the petitioner absconding, if released on bail and also there is chance of the petitioner tampering with the evidence. 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 the chance of his tampering with the evidence and absconding, if released on bail, this Court is of the considered view that this is not a fit case where the above-named petitioner be released on bail.
