It is submitted that no gunshot injury has been found on the person of the injured. It is contended that trial will take considerable time in its conclusion.

Heard learned counsel for the appellant and learned Public Prosecutor. Perused the material available on record. 6. Having regard to the totality of the facts and circumstances; considering the arguments advanced by learned counsel for the parties, especially considering the fact that co-accused person against whom there was allegation of using firearm has already been granted benefit of bail by this court and trial will take [2025:RJ-JP:32613] (3 of 3) [CRLAS-3433/2024] considerable time in its conclusion as well as looking to the period of custody, but without expressing any opinion on merits/demerits of this case, this Court deems it just and proper to enlarge the appellant on bail. 7. Consequently, the instant appeal is allowed. The impugned order dated 07.12.2024 passed by learned Special Judge, SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Cases, Alwar in Bail Application No.550/2024 is set aside.
