Three accused, identified as accused 1, 2, and 3, were arrested for allegedly committing offenses including trespassing, assault, and attempt to murder. The accusations stemmed from an incident on May 4th, 2024.
The court granted bail to accused 2 and 3, citing a lack of criminal history and the absence of specific accusations against them regarding the attempt to murder charge. They were released on a bond of Rs. 50,000 each with specific conditions, including appearing before the investigating officer every Saturday and refraining from tampering with evidence or committing further offenses.
However, bail was denied for accused 1. The court's reasoning hinged on two key factors: a history of 12 prior criminal cases and the severity of the accusations against them.
Key Takeaways:
- The presumption of innocence remains paramount: The order emphasizes that all accused are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
- Bail considerations: The court weighed factors like criminal history and the nature of accusations while determining bail.
- Conditions for bail: Those granted bail must adhere to specific conditions set by the court.
Moving Forward:
The investigation will continue, and the accused will face trial. This order solely addresses the bail requests and does not determine the final outcome of the case.
