JAMMU, Mar 3: Chief Judicial Magistrate Samba Ajay Gupta has rejected the bail application of Samar Pal, son of Nayan Ranjan of Hoogli West Bengal, a BSF cop who had tried to commit murder of his senior officer.
After hearing both the sides, the court observed, “the accused is involved in a serious and heinous offence and the investigation is yet to be completed”, adding “there is every apprehension that the accused will tamper with the evidence and will jump over the bail as he is not a local resident”.
“If in such type of serious and heinous offences the accused is granted bail, it will certainly affect the larger interest of public and in particular the security of the country”, the court said, adding “moreover, the general public will lose its faith in criminal justice system”.
With these observations, court rejected the bail application.
