4. Learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that the

petitioner is innocent and has committed no offence. Counsel

submits that the informant and the son of the petitioner were in

love. They fled away from the house. Subsequently, upon

recovery Panchaity took place. During Panchaity, the denial

has been made by the petitioner and his son and others to follow

the Panchaity. It has been alleged by the informant that in result

the daughter of the informant committed suicide. Counsel

of the informant and the case has been lodged by the informant

only to save his own skin. He submits that antecedent of the

petitioner is clean and he is a law abiding citizen.

bail of the petitioner but submits that death has been caused at
