Kuldeep Mathur, J

The instant bail application has been filed by the petitioners -

(1).Manoj Devi W/o Dwarka Prasad and (2). Mani Ram S/o Shri Dwarka Prasad under Section 439 Cr.P.C. in connection with FIR No.47/2022 registered at Police Station Kalu, District Bikaner for the offence under Sections 302 in alternate Section 302/120-B, 201 in alternate 201/120-B of IPC.

Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that in the FIR dated 28.05.2022, the complainant was informed by the petitioner-accused No.1 that the deceased died on account of an injury inflicted by her with an iron rod. It was further informed by her that the petitioner-accused No.2 has helped her in hiding the evidence related to the said incident. Learned counsel submitted that all the witnesses including the complainant have not supported the prosecution story in their statements recorded before the competent criminal court and have turned hostile. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that in view of the aforesaid reason, the probability of conviction of the petitioners is very less. He lastly submitted that no useful purpose would be served by keeping them behind the bars, therefore, the benefit of bail should be granted to the petitioners.

Per contra, learned Public Prosecutor opposed the bail application.
