¶9

Contention of learned counsel for the applicant is that the applicant is innocent and has falsely been implicated in the instant matter due to ulterior motive. He added that the general role has been assigned to the present applicant for attacking with 'Lathi' over the injured, though, the weapon i.e. 'Lathi' is recovered on the pointing of one coaccused namely, Adalat. He next added that no specific role has been assigned by the injured to the present applicant in his statement recorded under section 161 of Cr.P.C. and the applicant has two cases criminal history, which has been explained in the bail application and he is a law abiding citizen and is languishing in jail since 0604-2024. Further submitted that the applicant undertakes that in case, he is granted bail, he will not misuse the liberty of the same and would cooperate in the trial proceedings.

¶10

Per contra, learned counsel appearing for the complainant has opposed the contentions aforesaid and submits that the applicant is named in the first information report and the injured has received serious injuries as there are four fractures over the body of the injured and the age of the injured is not recoverable and there are two cases criminal history of the applicant and thus, he is not entitled for any relief.

¶11

Learned AGA appearing for the State has also supported the version of the learned counsel for the complainant and submits that the applicant is not entitled for any relief.

¶12

Having heard learned counsels for the parties and after perusal of material placed on record, it transpires that the applicant is languishing in jail since 06-04-2024; two cases criminal history of the applicant has been explained; the general role has been assigned to the present applicant coupled with the fact that the applicant has undertaken that if he is granted bail, he will not misuse the liberty of the same and would cooperate in the trial proceedings.

¶13

Considering the submissions of learned counsel of both sides, nature of accusation and severity of punishment in case of conviction, nature of supporting evidence, prima facie satisfaction of the Court in support of the charge, reformative theory of punishment and considering larger mandate of the Article 21 of the Constitution of India and, without expressing any view on the merits of the case, I find it to be a fit case of bail.
