From the allegations in the FIR, it is apparent that the man who was beaten and killed on the spot was in a helpless condition, having been brutally attacked by a number of individuals. FIR, based on an eyewitness account, alleges that the accused, Sumit Arora, with the intention to kill, struck the deceased on the head with a wooden stick. In the meantime, Paramjit Singh @ Pamma (petitioner herein), Ranjit Bajaj grabbed the deceased by the arm and forcefully hit him on the pavement and threw him down and everyone started hitting him with the kick blows while laying on the ground. Resultantly Mangat Ram (deceased) fainted and died on the spot. Injuries noticed during post mortem examination are as under: Examination of External Injuries Sr. No. Injuries Marked Injury Number 1.

Learned counsel submits that whether the injuries are corroborated by the oral testimony of the eyewitness is a matter to be decided by the learned Trial Court. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner refers to the deposition of Pinki, daughter of the deceased Mangat Ram, who appeared as PW2, and submits that the instant case was registered against the petitioner due to the intervention of certain politicians. For this purpose, the counsel relies on the relevant portion of her deposition, which reads as follows: “It is correct that Navjot Singh Sidhu, a renowned politician, and Sanjay Talwar, the area MLA, came to Ludhiana after the occurrence and supported us in lodging the FIR and securing the arrest of the accused.” Mr. D.S. Matya, Advocate, further contends that because of intervention of politicians, petitioner has been implicated in the present case. 4. Whereas, this Court draws another impression on a prima facie basis is that the deceased and complainant were in a helpless situation, and that the criminal case was registered due to the intervention of certain individuals. However, whether the present petitioner was involved or not cannot be determined at this stage of the proceedings. 5. This Court finds no reason to grant bail to the petitioner, as the eyewitness account has been duly corroborated. In the light of the RASHMI 2025.09.18 15:44 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document CRM-M-22369-2025(O&M) 4 facts and circumstances stated above, I do not find any merit in the present petition. Accordingly, petition is hereby dismissed. However, prosecution and learned trial Court are directed to expedite the trial proceedings in accordance with law and conclude the same preferably within a period of eight months from today. Let copy of this order be forwarded to trial Court concerned for information and necessary compliance.
