Learned counsel for the applicant argued that the accused- applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in this case crime number. Learned counsel for the applicant further submits that the FIR has been registered with some delay of which no satisfactory explanation has been made. Nothing incriminating material has been recovered from the possession of the applicant. There is no independent witness of the alleged incident. There is old enmity with regard to land between the applicant and the first informant due to which the applicant has been roped in the present case with concocted story. He submits that while coming to the house the injured fallen from the motorcycle and sustained injury and the applicant has not committed any mar-pit with the injured. No specific role and motive has been assigned to the applicant in the present case. The applicant is languishing in jail since
25.10.2024. The applicant has no criminal antecedent and there is no likelihood of his fleeing from course of justice or tampering with evidence in case of release on bail. Learned AGA has vehemently opposed, but could not dispute the fact that applicant has no criminal antecedents. Considering all those facts and circumstances, the nature of
accusations, severity of the punishment in the case of conviction and nature of supporting evidence, reasonable apprehension of tampering with the witness and prima-facie case, but without commenting on merit of case, a case for bail is made out. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed. Let the accused-applicant, Lanchand, involved in above mentioned case crime number be released on bail, on his executing a personal bond and two reliable sureties each, in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned, subject to the following conditions:
