The accused/applicant has been charged for serious offences involving death punishment and punishment upto life imprisonment and there are grave allegations against him. If the accused is enlarged on bail, there are chances of him winning over the witnesses of the prosecution and no witness will come against him because of fear and influence of accused persons in such cases and in militancy related cases nobody dare to come in the court to make statement against the accused,” he said.
