Co-accused Rajesh, co-accused Anoop, co-accused Praveen and co-accused Santosh were armed with pistols and country made pistols. THE applicant was armed with hasiya and remaining co-accused persons were armed with danda. Due to this incidence Manoj, Sanjay and other villagers came at the place of occurrence and in protest they threw the bricks and stones towards the accused persons. Consequently, all the accused persons were compelled to flee away by leaving their 3 motorcycles at the alleged place of occurrence. Amongst the injured Rana Pratap Singh and Shiv Kumar had received gun shot injuries. THEir contrition was very serious. THEy were sent to the hospital and remaining injured were taken to police station where the F.I.R. was lodged, but subsequently, Rana Pratap Singh succumbed to his injuries on 21.7.2006 at 10.20 p.m., in the hospital.

(3.) IN reply of the above contention the learned A.G.A. and the learned counsel for the complainant submit that the alleged occurrence had taken place in a broad daylight. The F.I.R. was promptly lodged. The applicant and other co-accused persons attacked at the house of the first informant. They caused injury on the person who were present there. IN the present case, one person has lost his life and many persons have received injury. The role of the applicant causing the injury by hasiya is established by injury report of the injured Shiv Kumar Singh, Ravindra Kumar Singh, who have received incised wounds and the applicant is man of criminal nature. The gravity of the offence is too much. IN case the applicant is released on bail he shall tamper with the evidence.
