1. Mr. S.R.S. Gill, learned counsel for the applicant.
2. Mr. G.S. Sandhu, learned Addl. Advocate General with Mr. Himanshu Sain, learned Brief Holder for the State.
3. This is the second bail application moved on behalf of the present applicant, namely, Kulveer, S/o Kalu Ram seeking bail in relation to FIR dated 24.04.2024, bearing FIR/Case Crime No. 0329 of 2024 registered at P.S. Kotwali Manglore District Haridwar, wherein the present applicant and seven other persons have been charge sheeted for the offences punishable under Sections 147, 148, 149, 302, 323, 452, 504, 506, 34 and 120B of IPC.
4. The first bail application was rejected by this Court on 04.10.2024.
4.
Learned counsel for the applicant argued that the applicant is languishing in jail since 02.05.2024 and already suffered long incarceration though up till date only one prosecution witness has been examined. Apart from this, he submits that the cause of death as shown in the post mortem report is due to ante mortem injuries caused by fire arm and no role of keeping fire arm has been assigned to the applicant at the time of incident in the FIR and only role of holding Lathi and Danda has been assigned to the applicant with another person namely Arpit, though Arpit has been exonerated during investigation and the applicant has been charge sheeted.
5. On the other side, Mr. G.S. Sandhu, learned Addl. Advocate General for the State raised an objection that there is no fresh ground, therefore, the applicant does
2026:UHC:71 not deserve for bail.
6. After hearing the arguments of the
learned counsel for the parties and taking into consideration that the applicant is languishing in jail since 02.05.2024 and up till date only one prosecution witness has been examined and furthermore during investigation one of the person namely Ankit who has been assigned the same role has already been exonerated and as per post mortem report cause of death is antemortem injuries caused by fire arm, this Court is of the view that the present applicant deserves for bail.
7. Accordingly, without expressing any opinion on the merit of the case, the instant second bail application is allowed.
8. Let the applicant
“Kulveer” be released on bail on his executing a personal bond and furnishing two reliable sureties of the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned.
9. It is made clear that after being released on bail the applicant shall join the trial court proceedings on each and every date without seeking unnecessary adjournment and grant of bail to the present applicant will not be treated as a precedent in respect of the other co- accused.
