6. The appellant was on bail during trial. We have considered evidence of PW-1 Tara Devi (complainant) and PW-4 Ghasi but any discrepancies in their statement can be considered at the time of final adjudication, and not at this stage. It is also apparent that injury report was prepared by PW-12 Dr. Jamsher Khan. The recovery memo and FSL report is also placed on record and we have perused them. 7.
At this stage, it is not possible for us to express any opinion on merits of the case, but looking to facts and circumstances of the case, it is appropriate to release appellant on bail. 8. Therefore, without expressing any opinion on merits, I am of considered view that it is a fit case wherein appellant can be enlarged on bail.
