CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH SHANKAR
For the Petitioner : Mr. A.K. Chaturvedy, Advocate
For the State : Mr. Ravi Kumar Singh, A.P.P.
08/23.11.2016Heard learned counsel for the parties.
The petitioner is an accused in a case registered under Sections 147/148/149/302/307/353/379/332/333/427 of the Indian Penal Code, Section 27 of the Arms Act, Sections 3/4 of Explosive Substance Act, Section 17 of the Criminal Law Amendment Act and Section 13 of Prevention of Unlawful Activities Act, in connection with S.T. No. 123 of 2015, pending in the court of learned Principal Sessions Judge, Latehar.
The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the present case only on the basis of the fact that the police personnels heard the miscreants calling the name of each other, wherein the name of the petitioner was also taken. There is no more evidence except the said fact.
On the other hand, the learned AP.P. while opposing the prayer for bail refers to paragraph no. 18 of the counteraffidavit, wherein it has been stated that as per paragraph no. 140 of the case diary, witness namely, Mansur Alam has stated that he along with his friend Pankaj were returning from the river through open field when saw some extremists coming from one side and some extremists coming from the other side in which the petitioner was also seen. The said witness claimed to have seen the extremist group along with the petitioner just before the occurrence. There are two criminal antecedents also against the petitioner.
Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail and, hence, the bail application of the petitioner is hereby dismissed.
