The learned counsel for the petitioner contends that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the present case. As he is in custody since 18.08.2024 but only 02 of the 10 prosecution witnesses have been examined so far, the trial of the present case was not likely to be concluded anytime soon and therefore, he is entitled to the concession of bail. 4. On the other hand, the learned State counsel along with counsel for the complainant while referring to the reply dated 29.04.2025 contends VINAY MAHAJAN 2025.08.27 10:58 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document CRM-M-14880-2025 #3# that multiple injuries have been attributed to the petitioner on the person of the injured Vinod Kumar. Injury no.1 is a grievous injury on the left Temporo Parietal Region causing a fracture. The nature of the allegations levelled against the petitioner did not entitle him to the concession of bail. He however concedes that the petitioner is in custody since 18.08.2024 and that only 02 out of the 10 prosecution witnesses have been examined so far 5. I have heard the learned counsel for the parties. 6. As per the prosecution case the petitioner caused multiple injuries on the person of the complainant/injured Vinod Kumar. However, he is stated to be out of danger and is following his daily pursuits without suffering any permanent disability of any kind. The petitioner is in custody since 18.08.2024 but only 02 of the 10 prosecution witnesses have been examined so far. Therefore, the Trial of the present case is not likely to be concluded in the near future. In this situation the further incarceration of the petitioner is not required. 7. Thus without commenting on the merits of the case, the present petitions are allowed and the petitioner-Subash son of Sh. Gopi Ram is ordered to be released on bail subject to his furnishing bail bonds and surety bonds to the satisfaction of learned CJM/Duty Magistrate, concerned. 8. The petition stands disposed of.
