Heard learned Counsel for the applicant and Mr. Shashi Shekhar Tiwari, learned A.G.A. appearing for the State.
It is submitted by learned Counsel for the applicant that in the First Information Report, the role of shooting is specifically assigned to co-accused Jagdish, whereas the applicant Hindpal has been assigned a general role of participating with the other co-accused. There is no overt act assigned to the applicant. It is stated that the applicant has no criminal history and is in jail since 10.02.2021.
The learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for bail.
Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the nature of allegations, the gravity of the offence, the severity of punishment, the evidence appearing in the case, in particular, the fact that role of shooting is exclusively assigned to co- accused Jagdish, but not to the applicant and the fact that the applicant has no criminal history, but without expressing any opinion on merits, this Court, finds it to be a fit case for bail.

It is further clarified that the Trial Court shall be absolutely free to arrive at its independent conclusions on the basis of evidence led, unaffected by anything said in this order.
