Hon'ble Ajit Singh,J.
Let the supplementary affidavit filed today in Court be taken on record.
Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the entire record.
The present bail application has been filed by the applicant in Case Crime No. 388 of 2021 under Sections 147, 148, 149, 504, 506, 307 IPC, Police Station - Dhoomanganj, District - Prayagraj (Allahabad) with the prayer to enlarge the applicant on bail.
A First Information Report was lodged on 01.05.2021 against as many as three named accused persons including present applicant Amjad and three unknown persons. In the said report it was alleged by complainant Samsher that near Chhote Imambada at about 7:30 P.M. on 30.04.2021 he and his nephew Hamdan were sitting. The accused persons were abusing and indiscriminately fired at them and one shot hit on the thigh of the complainant's nephew Hamdan. Thereafter, the accused persons escaped away shouting to kill all. It was also mentioned in the report that about twenty rounds of firing was made.
The contention as raised at the Bar by learned counsel for the applicant is that applicant-accused is quite innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case. It is submitted by the learned counsel for applicant that no specific role has been assigned to the present accused and the present accused has been nominated in the case on the general allegation of assault on the injured. It is also argued that the injured had received injuries on non vital party of his body that's to say on thigh and the doctor has not opined that the alleged injury on thigh was fatal to the life of injured. Lastly, it is argued that the applicant is in jail since 03.06.2021 and that in case applicant is enlarged on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail.
Learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for bail.
Keeping in view the submission of learned counsel for the parties, period of detention of the applicant, considering that nature of injuries, considering the accused persons are alleged to be six in number causing only one injury on the thigh of the injured and considering all other attending facts and circumstances of the case, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, at this stage, prima facie, a case for bail has been made out.
The prayer for bail is granted. The application is allowed.
