Attention has been drawn towards the impugned First Information Report, wherein, general allegation of beating and assault has been attributed to 6 named accused persons and 10 unknown accused person. Though the present applicant is named in the First Information Report, but no specific role has been attributed to him. As per the prosecution story, the accused persons have fired upon the face of the mother of the complainant. On account of assault and beating, the complainant and his wife received injuries. While recording his statement under Section 161, the same story has been narrated to the effect that the accused persons have fired upon the face of the of his mother and the complainant and his wife received injuries. Before death of the mother of the complainant, she recorded her statement and has stated that she received injuries from farsa and lathi-danda. Therefore, Sri Verma has stated that the prosecution story as well as the statement recorded under Section 161 falsifies, wherein the fact has been indicated that all the accused persons have fired upon the face of the mother of the informant. Attention has been drawn towards the supplementary affidavit which has been filed today wherein vide paragraph 3, one fact has been indicated that the present applicant is the student studying in third year of B.A. 1st year and essential documents have been annexed as Annexure No. 7. Sri Verma has therefore stated that the present applicant has been falsely implicated and despite the fact that he was not involved in the offence in question, general allegation has been levelled against him. There was one false FIR against the present applicant, wherein, final report has already been filed. Therefore, Sri Atul Verma has stated that if the present applicant is released on bail, he may pursue his studies and he will not misuse the liberty of bail and shall cooperate by all terms and conditions of the bail order and shall corporate in the trial proceedings. 6. Learned AGA, as well as the learned counsel for the informant have vehemently opposed the bail application, but could not dispute the contention of the learned counsel for the applicant. 7. Without entering into merits of the issue, considering the arguments of learned counsel for the parties; contents and allegations of the FIR and the fact that the present applicant is languishing in jail since 30.10.2024; only general allegations have been levelled against the applicant and he is a student of BA 1st year; there is no likelihood to conclude the trial in the near future; and undertaking of the applicant that he shall cooperate in the trial proceedings and shall not misuse the liberty of bail, I find it appropriate to release the applicant on bail. 8.
