JAMMU, Sept 20: Principal Sessions Judge Jammu, Rakesh Sagar Jain today rejected bail application of former MLC Tarlochan Singh Wazir, who is facing trial in Chopra family murder case.
After hearing both the sides, Principal Sessions Judge observed, “argument of counsel for the petitioner that witnesses have not supported the prosecution case need not to be gone into the details at this stage because consideration and appreciation of evidence available on record would certainly prejudice the case of prosecution”.
“It would be premature for the court to frame any opinion whether the petitioner-accused is guilty of the offence or not. The court is of the considered view that severity and degree of punishment would be at higher side if the allegation leveled against the petitioner-accused is proved to be true”, Principal Sessions Judge said.
“The allegations against the accused in the present case are that he entered into a criminal conspiracy with other accused and in pursuance of the criminal conspiracy committed murder of five persons. The allegations leveled against the accused are of very serious nature and against the society”, the court said.
With these observations, court rejected the bail application of former MLC.
