Coram: Hon’ble Mr. Justice Sanjay Dhar, Judge ORDER 03.06.2026 1. The petitioner, through the medium of present petition, is seeking bail in a case arising out of FIR No. 285 of 2025 for offence under Section 126(2), 117(1), 109 of BNSS registered with Police Station Qazigund. 2. As per the prosecution case, on 25.10.2025, the complainant, who happens to be brother of injured Mst. Daizy Jan, lodged a report with the police station alleging therein that his aforenamed sister has been married to the petitioner but on the said date in the evening, the P a g e | 2 Bail App 92/2026 CrlM No. 848/2026 petitioner gave a severe beating to his wife and he also inflicted grievous injuries on the leg of his wife with some sharp-edged weapon and with great difficulty, the injured was saved from the clutches of the petitioner. 3. On the basis of the aforesaid report, an FIR came to be registered and investigation of the case was set into motion. During investigation of the case, statement of the victim was recorded and she was subjected to medical examination. It was found that the victim had received severe grievous injury to her leg. The victim in her statement has alleged that on the date of occurrence, when she was staying with her husband in the kitchen, the petitioner abused his daughter which was objected to by her, whereafter the petitioner started abusing her also. The petitioner asked the injured not to cook food for the family and when she objected to do, the petitioner started giving beating to her. She further alleged that the petitioner broke the glass of almirah and threw one of the broken pieces of glass towards her, as a result of which, she received grievous injury to her leg P a g e | 3 Bail App 92/2026 CrlM No. 848/2026 4. It seems that the learned trial court declined to extend concession of bail to the petitioner on the ground that the petitioner is involved in a serious offence, and that if he is enlarged on bail, he would again intimidate and harass the victim. 5. The petitioner has sought bail in his favour on the ground that the investigation of the case is already complete and challan stands filed before the learned trial court. It has been submitted that after the incident, the petitioner has entered into settlement with the victim, and that he has shown remorse for his action, as a result whereof, his wife has also forgiven him. It has been further submitted that even otherwise, offence of attempt to murder is not made out against the petitioner, having regard to the nature of the injury received by the victim. 6. No reply has been filed by the respondent despite having been granted a couple of opportunities to file the reply. The victim, who as already stated happens to be wife of the petitioner, has made application bearing CrlM No. 848/2026, wherein she has submitted that because of P a g e | 4 Bail App 92/2026 CrlM No. 848/2026 incarceration of the petitioner, whole family is suffering, and has prayed that the petitioner may be admitted to bail. 7. Having regard to the fact that the injury that has been received by the victim is not of such a serious nature as would endanger her life and keeping in view the fact that the injury has been received by the victim on her leg, which is not a vital part of the body, prima facie, it appears that it is not a case of attempt to murder. It also appears that the petitioner has committed the offence in the heat of passion without any premeditation. He has been in custody for last six months, as such, his further incarceration would amount to pre-trial punishment in the facts of the present case. 8. In view of what has been discussed herein above, the application is allowed and the petitioner is admitted to bail subject to the following conditions: i) That he shall furnish personal bond to the tune of Rs. 50,000/- to the satisfaction of the Incharge of concerned Jail with one surety of the like amount to the satisfaction of the learned trial court. P a g e | 5 Bail App 92/2026 CrlM No. 848/2026 ii) That he shall appear before the trial court on each and every date of hearing. iii) That he shall not leave the limits of UT of J&K without proper permission of the trial court. iv) That he shall not tamper with the prosecution witnesses. 9. The bail application is accordingly disposed of. (Sanjay Dhar) Judge SRINAGAR 03.06.2026 Aasif
