JAMMU: Additional Sessions Judge, Jammu Shahzad Azeem on Tuesday rejected the bail applications of 38 persons involved in a group clash.
According to the police, the applicants attacked each other with fire arms, sharp edged weapons (tokas) and rods on 1st December, 2016, thereby, sustaining serious injuries. Two FIRs having Nos. 250/2016 and 251/2016 stand lodged against the applicants.
The statements of some witnesses have been recorded, which reveal that both the parties have sustained injuries in group attack on each other. Therefore, prima facie, it appeared that the applicants indulged in inflicting injuries on each other by wielding fire arms, sharp edged weapons and rods, which are yet to be recovered.
After hearing APP Abdul Hafiz appearing for the State and a battery of lawyers appearing for the accused persons, Additional Sessions Judge, Jammu Shahzad Azeem observed that benevolence of Section 497-A CrPC is only contemplated to save the peace loving citizens from being maligned.
The Court further observed that, keeping in view, the stage of investigation and particularly the recoveries which are yet to be recovered, the benefit of Section 497-A CrPC cannot be extended to the applicants being fraught with danger of being hampering the fair investigation.
