Ref:- Criminal Misc. Bail Application No. 278773 of 2017 Heard learned counsel for the applicants-appellants and learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the record.
In the present case bail is being sought in appeal against the order of conviction.
We have perused the judgment and order dated 3.8.2017 passed by the trial court convicting the appellant.
The contention as raised at the Bar by learned counsel for the appellant is that informant as well as injured in his statement have assigned the role of firing upon the deceased to co-accused Dheeraj; the appellant has been assigned the role of carrying the weapon but the said weapon was not used in the said incident and appellant had not fired. It is next contended that there is every likelihood of the appeal being allowed, however, there is no likelihood of the appeal being heard in near future.
Learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for bail, however he has not disputed the aforesaid contention as made by the learned counsel for the appellant.
In view of the aforesaid 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. However, the said prima facie view will not in any manner adversely affect the case of the prosecution.
The prayer for bail is granted. The bail application no. 278773 of 2017 is allowed.
