order with Signatures COURT’S OR JUDGE’S ORDERS
BA2/200/2025 Hon’ble Alok Mahra, J.
Mr. Vikas Anand, learned counsel for the applicant.
2. Mr. B.N. Molakhi, learned Deputy A.G. along with Mr. Akshay Latwal, learned A.G.A. for the State.
3. The applicant-Wajeer Singh, who is in judicial custody in connection with F.I.R./Case Crime No. 464 of 2023, under Sections 307, 504 I.P.C. and Section 4/25 of the Arms Act, Police Station Bazpur, District Udham Singh Nagar, has sought his release on bail.
4. This is the second bail application moved by the applicant. The first bail application was dismissed on merits vide
order dated 30.04.2025.
5. Upon query of this Court as to what fresh ground has been urged in the present application, learned counsel for the applicant submitted that during the course of trial, the depositions of prosecution witnesses reveal material contradictions regarding the number of injuries allegedly sustained by the victim. It is contended that the lack of consistency in the testimonies renders the prosecution version doubtful, thereby entitling the applicant to be enlarged on bail.
6. Per contra, learned State counsel opposed the bail application and submitted that all the prosecution witnesses have substantially corroborated the prosecution case; that, minor discrepancies regarding the
2025:UHC:7720 number of injuries cannot be treated as material contradictions, particularly when the medical evidence and the testimony of the Doctor clearly establish that the victim sustained grievous injury on his stomach by a sharp-edged weapon, which was dangerous to life.
7. Considering the
facts and circumstances, this Court finds that the ground taken in the second bail application does not constitute a fresh or valid ground for grant of bail. The medical evidence shows that the victim sustained a life-threatening injury, as even the intestines of the victim protruded out from the stomach, which clearly establishes the seriousness and gravity of the offence.
8. In view thereof, this Court is not inclined to take a different view than that already taken while rejecting the first bail application. Accordingly, the second bail application is dismissed.
