The role of assaulting the victim has been assigned to main accused Gajendra alias Gajju and the applicant has been assigned the role of driving the bike. The applicant is the younger brother of Gajendra alias Gajju. The applicant is languishing in jail since 01.11.2024.

Considering all those 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.
