By this application, the applicants seek bail on the ground that the FIR was lodged after investigation and admittedly the death has occured because of fists blows given on the various parts of the body. 2. During the pendency of the trial itself the accused persons were on bail and there is nothing on record to show that the bail then granted was in any manner misused by the accused. 3. Now that the conviction is recorded by the learned trial Judge. Grant of bail is opposed on the ground that the accused having been convicted under section 302 IPC does not deserve any leniency in the matter of bail. Taking into consideration the fact that the accused were on bail during the pendency of trial which lasted for ten years and nothing untowards was done by the accused while on bail, no fruitful purpose will be served by continuing their detention pending the appeal. Hence they be released on bail in the sum of Rs. 25,000/-each with two sureties. xxxx
