Dated this the 28th day of May, 2008
O R D E R
This petition is for bail.
2. According to prosecution, the petitioner committed murder
of his own brother due to property dispute, by stabbing him with
knife on the chest.
3. Learned counsel for petitioner submitted that first
information statement is given by a person who was not a witness
to the occurrence and that the petitioner has no criminal
background. He is in custody since 20.4.2008 onwards and there is
no evidence against him.
4. This petition is opposed. It is submitted by learned Public
Prosecutor that there are eye witnesses to the occurrence and the
close relatives like mother, brother etc. have witnessed the
incident. If the petitioner is released on bail, it is likely that he will
influence them and it will affect the investigation. I am satisfied of
the submissions made by learned Public Prosecutor and I am
satisfied that this is not a fit case to grant bail to the petitioner at
this stage.
This petition is dismissed.
