directed to surrender themselves before the concerned
Authorities. Furthermore, directions were issued to the trial Court
to decide the matter on its merits, without being influenced by any
of the observations made by the Hon’ble Apex Court.
3. Counsel submits that pursuant to the aforesaid order passed
by the Hon’ble Apex Court dated 13.05.2025, the petitioners
surrendered before the Jail Authorities and they are presently in
custody and subsequently thereto, charges have been framed
against the petitioners along-with co-accused persons for different
offences and statements of as many as seven prosecution
witnesses have been recorded so far. Counsel submits that upon
perusal of the statements of the complainant-PW-1 Ashish, PW-5
Vikas, who is the injured eye-witness and PW-6 Dinesh, it is clear
that there is no variation in their Court statements and the
allegations levelled in their statements against the petitioners are
similar, identical and consistent with the allegations levelled by
them in their Police statements recorded under Section 161 Cr.P.C.
Counsel submits that the witness PW-7 Naveen Kumar has
improved his version during the course of trial and now, he has
levelled allegation of causing fire arm injury against the petitioners

the instance of the petitioner-Raman and the recovery of seven
cartridges has been effected at the instance of the petitioner-
Yashpal from an open place, after a period of six months from the
alleged incident. Counsel submits that in spite of the above, no
charge under Sections 3/25 and 5/27 of the Arms Act has been
framed against the petitioner-Yashpal. Hence, under these
circumstances, there has been a change in the facts and
circumstances of the case and looking to the long period of
incarceration of the petitioners, indulgence of bail be granted to
the petitioners.
