JAMMU, Aug 8: Principal Sessions Judge Reasi Kamlesh Pandit has rejected the bail applications of two accused namely Mohd Rafiq and Parvez Ahmed, who were involved in a murder case.
“There is no dispute that the accused have been charged for the offences punishable under Sections 302/506/34 RPC. In this case as already discussed 13 witnesses till date have been examined by the prosecution out of 18 witnesses and witnesses produced by prosecution till date have not squarely exonerated the accused/ applicants”, the Judge said, adding “the counsel for the accused/ applicants expects this court to disbelieve the prosecution out rightly and believe his defence which is not the mandate of law when other important witnesses are yet to be produced for deposition”.
“I do not think accused persons/applicants deserve discretion of this court at this stage. The offence alleged to have been committed by the accused is heinous and entail punishment of death or life sentence”, the Judge said, adding “unless and until all the important witnesses are examined in the case, this court cannot come to the conclusion that there appears no reasonable ground for believing that accused are not guilty of an offence punishable with death or imprisonment for life”.
With these observations, court rejected the bail application.
