Court denies bail to ex-MLC in Chopra murder case

Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Apr 22: Principal Sessions Judge Jammu, Rakesh Sagar Jain today dismissed the bail application of ex-MLC Trilochan Singh Wazir, who is facing trial in the much- publicized Chopra murder case.
The bail application was filed with the prayer that bail be granted for a limited period of three months so as to enable the applicant to undergo medical treatment in a hospital outside the State since the required treatment is not available in the GMC Hospital, Jammu.
After hearing Senior Advocate K S Johal with Advocate Rajesh Kumar for the accused person, Principal Sessions Judge observed, “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 same committed murder of five persons. The allegations leveled against the accused are of very serious nature and against the society”.
“The petitioner seeks bail for a limited period so as to entitle him to get proper medical treatment under proper conditions. However, looking to the allegations leveled against the accused and the larger interest of the State and the public as well as the settled law, no good ground is made out for granting bail”, the court said.
“It may be noted that vide Order dated March 27, 2014, the Court had directed Superintendent, District Jail, Jammu to get the petitioner examined in AIIMS, New Delhi under proper escort and follow the treatment advised by the doctors and proceeded to dismiss the bail application. Since then, there has been no change in the circumstances to grant bail to the petitioner albeit for a short period also”, Principal Sessions Judge said.
With these observations, Court dismissed the application of ex-MLC Trilochan Singh Wazir.
