Case brief
What is this about?
Regular bail denied/dismissed; robbery at petrol pump; Rs. 56,000/- taken from employee's pocket; country made pistol and Rs. 4500/- recovered from petitioner; petitioner not named in FIR, implicated on disclosure statement of co-accused Ajit @ Kalu; no TIP conducted; custody 1 year 6 months; 4 of 17 witnesses examined; complainant yet to be examined; risk of tampering with evidence and influencing complainant; petitioner involved in two other cases; status report by Bharat Bhushan, HPS, DSP HQ Narnaul, District Mahendergarh; decided 10.07.2026 by Shalini Singh Nagpal, Judge; High Court, Chandigarh; CRM-M-15151 of 2026 (O&M).
What did the court decide?
Although the petitioner has been in custody for 1 year 6 months, only 4 of 17 witnesses have been examined and the complainant is yet to be examined, given the grave and serious nature of the allegations, the nature of the offence and the petitioner's antecedents of involvement in two other cases, there is a strong possibility of him tampering with evidence and influencing the complainant; on these facts the regular bail petition is dismissed and pending miscellaneous applications are disposed of.
