It is also submitted that the deceased-Vishal had sustained six-injuries on his body, out of which two injuries were on the head of deceased caused by Mahendra and rest of the injuries were caused by other accused-persons.

As per aforesaid order, the petitioner/applicant-Suresh was behind the bars since 14.03.2022 and the deceased died due to head injury which was not caused by the accused-respondent No.2. Other co-accused- persons, namely Prahlad Kumar Balai, Lakhan, Lalchand and Ashok have already been enlarged on bail under Section 439 of Cr.P.C. by this Court vide its order dated 02.09.2022.

As per post-mortem-report of Vishal, the cause of death was ante-mortem head injuries No.1 & 2.
