Yadav, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned APP for the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case registered under Sections 302, 326/34 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 27 of the Arms Act. According to the allegation, the petitioner has stabbed Chandrashekhar to death when a protest was made that as to why the informant’s sister Ritu Kumari was being raped by the accused persons including the petitioner. Submission is that for the same occurrence the alleged victim of rape has given another version which has led to registration of another case under Sections 376/511, 307/34 of the Indian Penal Code and section 27 of the Arms Act and in that case there is no mention of assault. It has further been submitted that a complaint case has also been filed with regard to the occurrence giving another version. It is further submitted that the petitioner was also assaulted and he was having incised wound and there is no explanation for that injury. 2 As per the allegation, the petitioner is the assailant of Chandrashekar who is the deceased of the case. No doubt, the petitioner is in custody since 11.12.2007 but considering the allegation, I am not inclined to enlarge him on bail. Accordingly, his prayer for bail is rejected. However, the learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial. (Shyam Kishore Sharma, J.) avin
