M. Rafiq Khan Chauhan and Ch. M. Abdul Wahid for Petitioners.
S. D. Qureshi for the State.
I have heard the learned counsel for the parties. The petitioner was unarmed at the time of occurrence and the only shot on the person of the deceased even according to the prosecution is attributed to Basher co‑accused. The allegation against the petitioner is that he caught hold of the deceased.
2. I am of the opinion that it is a matter of further enquiry as to whether the petitioner was in fact present or he in fact caught hold of the deceased, bearing in mind the fact that the deceased has been killed by a firearm shot. In this view of the matter, I allow bail to the petitioner in the sum of Rs.10,000 with two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of Assistant Commissioner, Gujrat.
Bail allowed.
