SL. No. Date Office Notes, reports, orders or proceedings or directions and Registrar’s order with Signatures UKHC010129572025 2026:UHC:5808 COURT’S OR JUDGE’S ORDERS UKHC010129572025 BA1/1521/2025 Bhagwandas Alias Guddu --Applicant Versus State Of Uttarakhand --Respondent Hon'ble Rakesh Thapliyal, J. Mr. Abhishek Verma, learned counsel for the applicant. 2. Mr. Vijay Khanduri, learned Brier Holder for the State. 3. The present applicant- Bhagwandas @ Guddu, S/o Tara Chandra is praying for bail in reference to a First Information Report dated 12.02.2025 bearing FIR No.0063 of 2025, P.S. Kashipur, District Udham Singh Nagar wherein he has been implicated by the informant Sunny, S/o Late Ramesh Chandra for the offence punishable under Sections 103 (1) of BNS, 2023. 4. It is argued by learned counsel for the applicant that applicant is languishing in jail since 13.02.2025; the trial has not been expedited so far and the I.O. filed the charge sheet without collecting any credible evidence particularly there is no evidence with regard to any such intentional motive though the allegation is with regard to murder of his own wife. He submits that the applicant is in prolonged incarceration; charge sheet has already been filed and there is no possibility that trial would be expedited soon, therefore, the applicant be released on bail. 5. On the other hand, learned Brief Holder for the State argued that there is one eye witness, namely, Mohit, who saw the incident and at that time the applicant was having blood stained knife, which he used in the commission of crime. He also submits that there is scientific evidence also on record in reference to the blood stained cloth of the applicant, which supports the case of the prosecution and on pointing out of the present applicant, the knife, which was used in commission of crime was also recovered. 6. After hearing the rival submission of learned counsel for the parties and taking into consideration the seriousness of the offence, this Court is of the view that applicant does not deserve for bail merely on the ground that he has already suffered prolonged incarceration since he is languishing in jail from 13.02.2025. 7. Accordingly, without expressing any opinion on the merit of the case, the bail application is rejected. 8. The trial court is directed to expedite the trial, as early as possible within one year from today. 9. Registry shall send the copy of this order to the concerned trial court, forthwith so that the concerned trial court may proceed and expedite the trial. (Rakesh Thapliyal, J.) 14.07.2026 Arti
