O n 29.4.2013 at about 1:30 am in the marriage ceremony of Anita, daughter of Baijnath Singh when Jaimala was going on, the appellant along with co-accused Brijesh @ Vijay and Chhotu @ Devmurti Pandey while celebrating the eve has started firing in the air (harsh firing), as a result of which the pellets of the guns struck Parul @ Adarsh Pratap, Pushpraj, Roshan and Amit @ Amitabh. They were taken to the hospital where Parul @ Ad ars h declared dead. During the course of treatment, Pushpraj also succumbed to his injuries.

Learned Panel Lawyer for the State has opposed the bail application. I have heard learned counsel for the parties at length and perused the record. Due to Harsh firing made by the applicant and other co-accused persons, two persons namely Parul and Pushpraj have died and other persons namely Roshan and Amit @ Amitabh sustained fatal injuries. Learned Senior Counsel has drawn attention of this Court towards some parts of statements of some witnesses but looking to the gravity of offence, other evidence in support of the prosecution's case, post mortem report and recovery of incriminating articles from the applicant and period of his custody, at this juncture, this Court is not inclined to suspend the jail sentence of the appellant and to release him on bail.
