Bail Application Nos. 6927 of 2018, 19736 of 2018 and 19750 of 2018, since the role of the applicant is not distinguishable with the role of co-accused, therefore, the applicant is also entitled for bail. There is general allegation against all accused persons. Only one head injury was found on the body of deceased. It is not clear from the prosecution evidence who was the author of the injury found on the head of the deceased due to which he died. The applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case. There is no independent witness and eye witness account against the applicant. Offences levelled against the applicant are not attracted in the present case. He is languishing in jail since 12.9.2017 (more than eight and half months) having no criminal history and in case he is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail and will cooperate in trial.
Learned A.G.A. opposed the prayer for bail but could not dispute the aforesaid fact as argued by learned counsel for the applicant and admitted that applicant has no criminal history and the case of present applicant is identical to co- accused Ramphool, Kaliyan and Dharma who has been enlarged on bail.
Considering the submission of learned counsel for the parties, facts of the case, nature of allegation and period of custody, gravity of offence, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the Court is of the opinion that it is a fit case for bail. Hence, the bail application is hereby allowed.
