Earlier the prayer for bail of the petitioner was rejected by this Court, vide order dated 30.8.2017 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 35845 of 2017 on merit. Allegation in the FIR is of snatching of bag and firing on the deceased.

Submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that he is in custody for more than 14 months and up-till-now only one witness has been examined in this case and other coaccused persons have been granted bail. Heard learned A.P.P. also.
