¶11

The accused/applicant seeks regular bail in case FIR No.03/2024 of PS Jahangir Puri for offence under Section 307/120B/147/148/149/34 IPC and 25 Arms Act.

¶12

I have heard learned counsel for accused/applicant and learned APP for State assisted by IO/SI Deepak.

¶13

Broadly speaking, the prosecution case is that the injured/complainant de facto was fired at by the co-accused Suraj @ Rishab, but the complainant de facto saved himself and fled, and the misfired shot hit a child. While

fleeing, the complainant de facto was followed by the remaining accused persons, one of whom was the present accused/applicant, carrying knife in his hand.

¶18

Learned counsel for accused/applicant submits that he has been falsely implicated in this case. It is also contended that co-accused Suraj @ Rishab, who allegedly fired at the complainant de facto has already been released on bail because the complainant de facto and the child who was injured in the incident did not identify him.

¶19

Learned APP for State fairly admits that both the complainant de facto as well as the injured child did not support prosecution case.

¶20

It is also strange to note that in the initial statement, which led to registration of the FIR, the complainant de facto specifically named the assailants, but did not name the present accused/applicant. It is only subsequently in supplementary statement that he added names of the present accused/applicant, one Sahil, one Meet @ Golu also as assailants and further added that they were accompanied with 2-3 more persons, who were carrying knife in their hands.

¶21

Considering the above circumstances, I find no reason to further deprive liberty to the accused/applicant. Therefore, the bail application is allowed and accused/applicant is directed to be released on bail subject to his furnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs.10,000/- with one surety in
