Heard Sri Ajay Kumar Vashishtha, learned Counsel for the
applicant and the learned A.G.A. appearing for the State.
The submission of the learned Counsel for the applicant is that
the applicant has been named in the present crime on the basis
of suspicion. It is a case that proceeds on circumstantial
evidnece where no one has seen the occurrence. The
circumstance appearing against the applicant is an extra judicial
confession that has been sought corroboration of the recovery
of a piece of brick with alleged blood stains after one and a half
month from the place of occurrence that is accessible to the
public. It is pointed out that there is no serological report
relating to the claimed blood-stained brick recovered at the
pointing of the applicant. It is also submitted that at the distance
of one and a half month, there is no likelihood of a serological
examination of the blood stains claimed, which if blood is there,
would have disintegrated by now. It is submitted that the
recovery, even otherwise is planted. It is pointed out that the
applicant has no criminal history and is in jail since 18.11.2018.
Learned A.G.A. has opposed the bail plea.
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 the applicant's name has been brought in on the
basis of suspicion, the fact that the case rests on circumstantial
evidence where no one has seen the occurrence, the fact that the
applicant has been implicated on the basis of an extra judicial
confession, the fact that the recovery of a blood stained brick at
pointing of the applicant is said to be made after one and a half
month after the occurrence from a place accessible to the
public, the fact that there is no serological report determination
showing the presence of blood on the brick said to be recovered
from the place of occurrence, 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.
The bail application, accordingly, stands allowed.
