JAMMU, Aug 23: High Court has rejected the bail application of hardcore criminal Sunny Choudhary alias Sunny Baba, who is facing trial in murder case.
After hearing Advocate Sudershan Sharma for the applicant whereas AAG Aseem Sawhney for the UT, Justice Rajnesh Oswal observed, “there are serious allegations against the petitioner of hatching a conspiracy for committing murder and arranging the killers in pursuance of the conspiracy. At this stage, it cannot be determined that the allegations are either false or not true as number of other witnesses are yet to be examined”.
“There is every chance that if the petitioner is enlarged on bail, he may influence the witnesses as the petitioner is facing trial for commission of offence, which is punishable with death or imprisonment to life. So far as delay in the conclusion of trial is concerned, perusal of record shows that the trial court has conducted the effective proceedings and even to secure the presence of the complainant, trial court has resorted to even coercive process”, High Court said.
“No doubt that the petitioner is facing trial for the last seven years but it is also fact that he is facing trial for commission of heinous offence of murder”, the High Court added.
