##PAGE2##[2026:RJ-JD:14809] (2 of 5) [CRLMB-1225/2026] accused namely, Lakhveer Singh @ Labhu and Deepak @ Dipu for the offences punishable under Sections 109(2), 115(2), 3(5) & 331(6) of BNS, 2023, but after four months of the incident, deceased-Rajendra Kumar passed away and, therefore, challan was filed on 16.12.2025 against Lakhveer Singh @ Labhu, Deepak @ Deepu and present applicant under Sections 103(1), 109(2),
115(2), 3(5) & 331(6) of BNS, 2023.
3. Learned counsel for the applicant also submits that applicant has falsely been implicated in the present case only on the basis
of conjectures and surmises.
4. It is contended that as per the injury report injured/deceased Rajendra Kumar was examined on 18.09.2024 i.e. after 20 days of date of incident dated 30.08.2024, wherein two injuries i.e. injury No.1-blunt injury on the lower back region and injury No.2 on the left fronto-parieto-temporal region was reported. As per the postmortem report, the cause of death of deceased - Rajendra
Kumar is due to head injury.
5. Learned counsel has drawn attention of this Court towards the contents of FIR as well as the statements of eye-witnesses i.e. Subhash (PW.1) and Krishna (PW.2) and submits that the said witnesses have clearly stated that head injury was caused by Lakhveer Singh @ Labhu through a sharp edged weapon and no specific allegation has been levelled against the present applicant for causing any head injury to deceased-Rajendra Kumar. The injury attributed to the applicant is upon back of deceased-
Rajendra Kumar.

##PAGE3##[2026:RJ-JD:14809] (3 of 5) [CRLMB-1225/2026] 6. Learned counsel also submits that challan in the present case has already been filed and applicant is behind the bars since
20.09.2025.
7. Learned counsel further submits that similarly situated co- accused-Deepal @ Dipu, to whom no head injury is attributed has already been enlarged on bail by the Coordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 24.11.2025 in SB Criminal Misc. Bail
Application No.4565/2025.
8. Learned counsel states that case of the present applicant is not distinguishable from the case of co-accused-Deepak @ Dipu and thus, prays that applicant may be enlarged on bail on the
ground of parity.
9. Per contra, learned Public Prosecutor vehemently opposed the bail application and submits that since all the three accused have attacked upon deceased-Rajendra Kumar with common intention and the injuries caused were turned to be fatal thus, the
benefit of bail should not be extended to the applicant.
10. I have considered the submissions made by both the parties
and have perused the material available on record.
