The petitioner seeks bail in a case registered for the offences under Section 302 read with section 34 of the Indian Penal Code. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that there is allegation against the petitioner as well as co- accused Dina Rai of assaulting the deceased by sword, cutting the half of the neck of the deceased, however, it is not stated as to whose blow had killed her. Learned counsel further submitted that he has instruction that the trial has already commenced and five witnesses have been examined and all of them have become hostile. However, in view of the fact that there is allegation against the petitioner and co-accused Dina Rai of assaulting the deceased by sword killing her, this 2 Court would not be inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.
