Per contra, learned A.G.A. appearing on behalf of the State, in advance notice, has vehemently opposed the bail application of applicant and submitted that the role of firing has been assigned to the present applicant and country made pistol has also been recovered from his possession.

The role of firing has been assigned to the applicant, he has opened fire on the injured person and due to that the injured person sustained injury on his thigh, but admittedly the injuries are not fatal to life and not on the vital part of the body. No looted articles were recovered from the applicant, but only country made pistol which was used in firing on the injured person was recovered. 7. This fact has not been contradicted by learned AGA appearing on behalf of the State. The charge sheet has already been filed before the concerned Court and there is no chance for completion of trial in near future.

It is also undertaken by learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant shall abide all terms and conditions as imposed by this Court. He has also undertaken that the applicant shall co-operate in the investigation as well as in the trial. There is no chance of completion of trial in near future. 8. Taking into consideration all the entirety of the matter as discussed above, without expressing any finding or opinion on merits of the case, the applicant is releasing on bail. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed. 9.

In case of breach of any of the above conditions, it shall be a ground for cancellation of bail. . (Chandra Dhari Singh, J.)
