% 21.08.2025 1.

By the present bail application, the applicant seeks regular bail in FIR No. 266/2020 dated 29.05.2020, registered at Police Station Jafrabad, for offences under Sections 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 and Section 27 of the Arms Act, 1959. 2.

The allegations in the present case are grave in nature. It is the case of the prosecution that the applicant, along with the other accused persons, brutally murdered the victim to exact revenge for a previous altercation that had taken place between the victim and two of the other accused persons. The victim was shot during the incident, whereafter, he succumbed to his injuries. The incident was witnessed by the father of the victim and the FIR was registered on the basis of his statement. 3.

persons, who along with other accused persons, in furtherance of their common intention, had brutally murdered the victim. 4.

At the outset, it is pointed that the father of the victim is yet to be cross-examined and two other eye-witnesses have also not been examined till now.

5.

If released on bail, the possibility of the applicant threatening the witnesses cannot be ruled out at this stage. 6.

Considering that serious and grave allegations have been made against the applicant and the eye-witnesses are yet to be examined, at this stage, this Court does not consider it apposite to enlarge the applicant on bail.

7.

In view of the above, the present bail application is dismissed with liberty to the applicant to file an application afresh after the examination of the eye-witnesses. Pending application(s) also stand disposed of.

8.

Considering that the applicant was arrested long back on 02.06.2020, the learned Trial Court is requested to expedite the recording of evidence.
