Deaths have been caused in the said incident. Role of petitioner has emerged in the investigation, based on which chargesheet has come to be filed. Submission of the counsel is that there is no evidence of actual participation by the petitioner in the incident which led to filing of the case as well as there is nothing on record to show that he has a criminal antecedent. His prayer for bail should be considered accordingly. It is not a case where there is no evidence against the petitioner or his complicity in the crime. Looking at the seriousness of the allegations and the incident, this Court is not enthused to enlarge the petitioner on bail at this stage. Prayer for bail is rejected. If the trial does not begin in the next one year the petitioner may have liberty to move this Court afresh. rkp (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J)) - 2 -
