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 14.01.2024. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the victim in his statement recorded under Section 161 Cr.P.C. has levelled allegation against two persons, namely, Anil Kumar and Virendra Singh (applicant), whereas under Section 164 of Cr.P.C., allegation has been levelled only against the applicant and some developments have also been made. As per the medical examination report, no external injury has been found on the body of the victim. The applicant has criminal antecedent of one case 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 and learned counsel for High Court Legal Services Committee have 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.
