Anuj received four injuries (lacerated wound, contusions and abrasions) and died. Bloodstained axe used in the crime was recovered at the pointing out of co-accused Amar Singh.
Learned counsel for the applicant submitted that co- accused namely Shivraj Singh has already been granted bail by this Court vide order dated 30.7.2019 in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No. 30335 of 2019, since the role of the applicant is not distinguishable with the role of co- accused, therefore, the applicant is also entitled for bail. The applicant has been falsely implicated in this case and is languishing in jail since 13.4.2019 (more than four months) having no criminal history. General role has been assigned against all persons except co-accused Amar Singh. No incised wound was found on the body of the deceased. Deceased died receiving injury on head. There is no independent witness against the applicant. The incident is of morning at 4:00 A.M. Nobody had seen the incident. Due to previous enmity and suspicion F.I.R. was lodged after thought and due legal consultation. In case he is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail and will cooperate in trial.
