The applicant is neither gang leader nor he is an active member of any gang. He has not committed the alleged offence mentioned in the gang chart. Applicant has no other criminal history and he is in jail since 11.07.2019, if the applicant is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail.
Per contra, learned A.G.A. opposed the prayer for bail but could not dispute the facts as raised by the learned counsel for the applicant.
Nature of accusation, evidence collected by I.O. in support of the charge, gravity of offence, nature and severity of punishment in case of conviction, complicity of the accused and all other attending circumstances were duly considered.
Considering the rival submissions of learned counsel for the parties, keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the case, without expressing any opinion on merits of the case, a case for bail is made out.
Accordingly, the bail application is allowed.
Let the applicant Salman Banjara involved in the aforesaid case crime, be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond and two sureties in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned with the following conditions;
1. The applicant shall not tamper with the evidence or threaten the witnesses.
