Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner contends that as per the case of the prosecution, stab injuries had been inflicted on the injured and there was a punctured wound that was caused by Rinku Singh. The knife was recovered from one Luvkush Singh-co-accused. He further contends that omnibus and general allegations have been levelled against the petitioner and one Mohit Awasthi is alleged to have caused injuries with the knife after taking it from the other co-accused and to handover the same to other persons after causing the injury. He submits that it is highly improbable that the injuries were caused in the manner as suggested by the prosecution. Besides, no recovery has been effected from the petitioner and the only recovery effected is a car in which the assailants are stated to have absconded in haste after the incident. It is further submitted that the petitioner is in custody since 10.05.2025 and has already undergone an actual custody of nearly 01 year. The investigation in the case is complete. He further submits that even the charge has not been framed so far and the 19 witnesses cited by the prosecution are yet to be examined, as such, conclusion of trial shall take long. He further emphasizes that the petitioner is a young boy aged 26 years with no criminal antecedents and his continued incarceration is likely to jeopardize his entire future. He further submits that co-accused Mohit Awasthi has already been granted concession of regular bail vide order dated 17.02.2026 passed in CRM- M-1438-2026 by this Court and the case of the petitioner would be at par with SUMIT SINGH GUSAIN 2026.05.01 10:27 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document 3 207 CRM-M-22979-2026(O&M) the said co-accused Mohit Awasthi, hence, the benefit ought to be extended to him. 4.
