Learned counsel for the applicant argued that the accused- applicant is innocent. He has been falsely implicated in this very case crime number and is languishing in jail since 13.11.2024.
Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the First Information Report has been lodged with the allegation that on the date of incident two named and one unknown persons came to the house of the first informant and opened fire due to which the mother of the first informant has sustained injuries. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant was not named in the First Information Report his name has been surfaced in the statement of the son of the informant. Criminal history of seven cases has been explained in the supplementary affidavit and there is no likelihood of his fleeing from course of justice or tampering with evidence in case of release on bail. Hence, bail has been
prayed for. Learned AGA has vehemently opposed the prayer for bail. Considering all above 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, Arjun @ Binta, 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:
