The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner was member of unlawful assembly and in prosecution of the common object of the assembly committed murder of Belal Momin and attempted to murder Jalal Momin. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false. It is then submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 04.11.2025, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 01 of the bail application. It is next submitted that the petitioner undertakes to cooperate with the trial of the case. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be admitted to bail. Learned Addl. P.P. and the learned counsel for the informant on the other hand vehemently opposes the prayer for bail and submits that though in the FIR, it has been mentioned that the assault upon Belal Momin was made by Jiyaual Momin and Hafizuddin Momin but the witness Uttam Kumar Mandal whose statement appears in paragraph no. 20 of the case diary has stated that inter alia that the petitioner assaulted Belal Momin and Jalal Momin with knife. It is further submitted that the injured Jalal whose statement appears in paragraph no.78 of the case diary has stated that Belal was assaulted by the petitioner and Jiyaual with knife, Sanaual with bamboo and Habib with hasua. It is lastly submitted that in view of direct allegation against the petitioner, 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 at this stage. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the abovenamed petitioner is rejected. (Anil Kumar Choudhary, J.) 07.10.2026 Gunjan-
