In the prosecution case, it is alleged that due to repair work in the office of the S.D.M., Patti, he was conducting the hearing in his chamber on 7.3.2025. While the regular hearing was conducted in the chamber of S.D.M. at around 11.30 am, two rival groups of advocates started quarreling. An attempt was made to pacify the parties and they were taken out of the chamber. But in the corridor, they again started fighting and someone fired which hit the ceiling. Some advocates have beaten the Government employees. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that no specific role has been assigned to the applicant. He is a practising advocate. There is no recovery of any incriminating article from the possession of the applicant. The offences are triable by Magistrate. It is further submitted that the applicant has no previous criminal history and he is languishing in jail since 6.5.2025. There is no possibility of the applicant of fleeing away after being released from jail or tampering with the witnesses. In case the applicant is enlarged on bail, he shall not misuse the liberty of bail. Learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for bail but could not dispute the aforesaid facts as argued by the learned counsel for the applicant. On due consideration to the submissions advanced, perusal of the record so also the fact that the offences are triable by magistrate; the applicant is a practising advocate; general nature of allegations have been levelled against the applicant; he is languishing in jail since 6.5.2025 having no previous criminal history and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I find it to be a fit case for enlarging the applicant on bail.
