This hearing has been held through video conferencing. 2.

The Applicant seeks interim bail for 45 days in terms of the minutes of the High Powered Committee dated 18th May, 2020. He has been accused of offences under Sections 302/34 IPC and has been in custody since 22nd September, 2017. A perusal of the order of the ld. Sessions Judge dated 1st June, 2020 shows that the reason why bail was rejected was due to some other FIR No. 151/2013, which was allegedly pending against the Applicant. However, a perusal of the nominal roll received from the Jail Superintendent, Central Jail No.4, Tihar Jail, New Delhi reveals that there is no such FIR.

3.

Insofar as the unsatisfactory conduct is concerned, there was an incident which took place on 20th May, 2018 for which the Applicant was adequately punished by stopping of mulakaat and phone call facility. 4.

Considering the above facts and the fact that the Applicant's case is covered by the minutes of the High Powered Committee dated 18th May, 2020 and the fact that the Applicant has been in custody for more than two By:PRATHIBA M SINGH
