JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Ritesh Kumar, Advocate For the State : Mr. Tarun Kumar, Addl. P.P. ------ Order No.02 Dated- 09.07.2026 Heard the parties. The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Palkot P.S. Case No.71 of 2025 registered for the offences punishable under sections 103(1) of the B.N.S., 2023. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner has committed the murder of his own father by assaulting him with bamboo stick; being enraged in distribution of the ration brought by his father. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and though charge sheet has been submitted in this case but no witnesses have been examined as yet. It is next submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in paragraph no.12 of the bail application. It is then submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 07.12.2025, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 16 of the bail application. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be admitted to bail. Learned Addl. P.P. on the other hand vehemently opposes the prayer for bail and submits that keeping in view the direct allegation of serious nature against the petitioner of committing the murder of his own father, there is every chance of the petitioner absconding and tampering with evidence, if released on bail. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner ought not to be admitted to bail. Considering the serious nature of allegation against the petitioner and the chance of the petitioner absconding and tampering with evidence, if released on bail, this Court is not inclined to admit the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the abovenamed petitioner is rejected. (Anil Kumar Choudhary, J.) 09.07.2026 Gunjan-
