Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that the petitioner is innocent and has been falsely implicated in this case. No offence in the manner as alleged has ever taken place. Since the petitioner is the sole bread winner of the family, he has been specifically named though he has no role in the firing. There is no independent witness to the whole occurrence and no one has come in support of the prosecution story or to allege any overt act against the petitioner. Learned counsel further submits that the petitioner being a law abiding citizen has surrendered before the Court on 17.07.2025 and since then the petitioner is in custody. The petitioner is a boy aged about 18 years and is working in a private company. In order to ruin his career, the petitioner has been made accused in this case. The petitioner has clean antecedent. 5. Learned APP appearing for the State as well as learned counsel for the informant vehemently oppose the submission made on behalf of the petitioner. Learned counsel for the informant submits that there is specific allegation against the petitioner that he shot dead the brother of the informant and the brother of the informant received a single injury and the post mortem report supports the prosecution case in which cause of Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.44415 of 2026(4) dt.17-08-2026 3/3 death has been stated to be hemorrhagic shock due to firearm injury. 6. Having regard to the fact and circumstances and considering the specific nature of allegation against the petitioner of shooting dead the brother of the informant, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Hence, the prayer for grant of regular bail to the petitioner is rejected. 7. Learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial in connection with Panchrukhi P.S. Case No. 301 of 2025 and conclude the same, at the earliest. Anuradha/- (Arun Kumar Jha, J) U T
