Broadly speaking, the case set up by prosecution is that on 29.05.2024 at about 01:00pm when the complainant de facto Suraj and the injured Subhit were standing at the spot, the present accused/applicant, Vimal and his associate namely Puneet came and they started beating up Subhit. The complainant de facto Suraj tried to intervene. In the process, the co-accused Puneet took out a knife and stabbed Subhit above the waist and buttocks. After that both accused persons fled the spot. 3.

Learned counsel for accused/applicant submits that there is no specific role assigned to the accused/applicant in the alleged incident but he is in jail since 30.05.2024. It is also submitted that the injured was discharged after about 12 days from the hospital. 4.

Learned APP for State opposes the bail application on the ground of nature of the injuries. However, it is not denied that the injured stands discharged from hospital almost two years back. It is also apprised by the IO that the complainant de facto Suraj has already been examined in trial but despite 15 dates before the trial court, the injured Subhit has not appeared. 5.

Considering the above circumstances, this bail application is allowed and the accused/applicant is directed to be released on bail, subject to his furnishing of a personal bond in the sum of Rs.10,000/- with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the learned trial court. The accused/applicant shall not contact any of the prosecution witnesses in any manner whatsoever.
