the field. Sitaram was also working in the adjacent field and some discussions
took place. Sitaram went to the village and returned along with Narendra and
Vedram who were armed with latthi, danda and kasi and at 9:30 a.m., they
started assaulting them. Vedram and Pramod have assaulted his father on his
head. Narendra and Sitaram assaulted with latthi and danda on his brother.
When his mother tried to save his father, she was also assaulted. The
witnesses Rajaram and Ratiram who were working in neighbour’s field came
to rescue after hearing shrinks. His father received serious injuries. He was
taken to the District Hospital but in the way he died.

It is submitted by learned counsel for the appellant that the alleged offence is
not a pre-meditated offence. According to the prosecution case, the
occurrence took place on the basis of dispute regarding tress-passing of field.
The appellant was not armed with any lethal weapon. The deceased sustained
only one lacerated wound and it is not known who caused this injury. The
conviction of the appellant under Section 302/34 I.P.C. is not legally proper.

prosecution convicted the appellant, as aforesaid.

On the contrary, learned A.G.A. opposing the prayer for bail submitted that
there are sufficient evidence against the appellant and Sessions Judge has
rightly convicted the appellant on the basis of evidence on record.

facts and circumstances of the case and without commenting any opinion on
the merits of the case, in our opinion the appellant pending appeal is entitled
to be released on bail.

sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned.
