Learned counsel for the applicant has submitted that first information report has been lodged against 12 nominated and 400-500 unknown persons. Learned counsel for the applicant submitted next that general role of assault has been assigned to large number of persons, who are said to have opened fire upon the police personnel and also resorted to pelting of stones, but no police personnels received any fire arm injury. However, some police personnels have received simple injuries on their persons by pelting of stones. and no specific role has been assigned to the applicant of causing injury to any of the victim. It is lastly submitted that the applicant is in jail since 04.10.2018 and in case the applicant is released on bail he will not misuse the liberty of bail and will cooperate in trial. The applicant has no previous criminal history to his credit, but subsequently apart from the present case, he has also been involved in Case Crime Nos. 255 and 256 of 2018 in which the applicant is in jail.
Per contra, learned AGA has opposed the prayer for bail but could not dispute the aforesaid facts and the fact that applicant is in jail since 4.10.2018 and has no previous criminal history.
Keeping in view the nature of the offence, evidence, complicity of the accused, severity of punishment, submissions of the learned counsel for the parties and without expressing any opinion on merits of the case, I am of the view that the applicant has made out a case for bail.
Let the applicant Abhimanyu Rana be released on bail in the aforesaid case crime number on his furnishing a personal bond and two reliable sureties of the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned subject to the following conditions :-
(i) The applicant shall not indulge in any criminal activity.
