JAMMU, July 22: Principal Sessions Judge Reasi Kamlesh Pandit has rejected bail application of Jaswant Singh, who is facing trial in murder of one Puran Chand.
“In order to come to the conclusion that a person is guilty the court must consider the nature and character of the evidence and in case on consideration of such evidence, the court prima facie comes to the conclusion that the evidence against the accused person is not such that he has committed offence then in the normal course the person is entitled to bail”, the Principal Sessions Judge said.
The court further said, “in the present case, there is no dispute that the accused has been charged for the offences punishable under Sections 302/201/203 RPC. Only 12 witnesses till date have been examined by the prosecution out of 43 witnesses and witnesses produced by prosecution till date have not squarely exonerated the accused/applicant”, adding “in view of the given facts and circumstances the bail application appears to be premature”.
