BA1 No.935 of 2024
Hon'ble Alok Mahra, J.
Mr. R.S. Sammal and Ms. Sarita
Bisht, Advocates for the applicant.
Mr. Deepak Bisht, Deputy Advocate
General for the State of Uttarakhand.
Mr. Mani Kumar, Advocate for the
complainant.
2. This first bail application has been
moved by the applicant seeking regular
bail in Case Crime/F.I.R. No.545 of 2023,
under Section 302, 504, 506 I.P.C. and
Section 3/25 of the Arms Act, registered
at Police Station Rudrapur, District
Udham Singh Nagar.
3. It is contended by learned counsel
for the applicant that applicant has
falsely been implicated in the instant
crime; has no criminal history and is
languishing in jail since 02.10.2023.
Learned counsel for the applicant
submits that the Ballistic Report does not
match with the prosecution version. He
submits that, as per recovery memo,
country-made pistol of .315 bore was
recovered, however, perusal of medical
report reveals that the injury caused on
the person of the deceased was not
caused by the said weapon and there
were 3 pellet injuries, beside this, the
Ballistic report also fortifies the
arguments of the counsel for the
applicant that the gunshot injuries on the
body of the deceased were not caused by
the seized weapon. He submits that
applicant is about 70 years of age and is
suffering from various old age ailments.
2025:UHC:3773
He submits that in case, the applicant is
granted bail, he will not misuse the same
and will furnish the bail surety as per the
satisfaction of this Court.
4. Learned State Counsel as well as
learned counsel for the complainant
vehemently opposed the bail application.
5. Considering the submission of
learned counsel for the parties and
without expressing any opinion as to the
final merits of the case, this Court is of
the view that applicant deserves bail at
this stage.
6. The bail application is allowed.
7. Let the applicant, namely, Suchcha
Singh be released on bail, on executing
personal bond and furnishing two reliable
sureties, each of like amount, to the
satisfaction of Court concerned.
