¶18

SI Santosh who is present from PS Nangloi also identifies him.

¶19

When asked about his response to the present bail application in vernacular, the complainant/injured submitted that he would have no objection if bail is granted to him. He submits that the applicant is his neighbor and is having a minor child and, therefore, despite the fact that he had caused him stab injuries, he would have no objection if bail is granted to him.

¶20

During the course of proceedings, this Court specifically asked the complainant whether he had been given any intimidation or threat by anyone or whether his such statement is based on any inducement, to which he replied in the negative.

¶21

The Nominal Roll of the applicant indicates his age as 28 years. The Nominal Roll does not disclose any ongoing case and applicant’s conduct in jail is reported as satisfactory.

¶22

Learned counsel for the applicant, in all fairness, submits that the applicant was earlier involved in two FIRs which was registered way back in the year 2016 and 2017. In one FIR i.e. 228/2016 PS Nangloi, he was held guilty and has already undergone the sentence where as the other case i.e. FIR No. 456/2017 PS Nangloi which was registered under Section 326 IPC has already been quashed by this Court.

¶23

Learned APP for the State does not dispute the abovesaid criminal antecedent of the applicant and submits that there is no other reported history of his prior involvement.

¶24

Be that as it may, keeping in mind the overall facts of the case, the fact that investigation is over and chargesheet is likely to be filed very shortly, the applicant is admitted to bail, on his furnishing personal bond in a sum of Rs.
