JAMMU, Mar 8: In the much publicized revenue raid case, City Judge Jammu Manjeet Rai has rejected the bail application of one Sushil Kumar Sharma, Patwari Halqa Gharota, who was arrested by the SIT.
After hearing both the sides, the City Judge observed, “while granting bail in a non-bailable offence the court should take into account various considerations, such as nature and seriousness of the evidence, the character of the evidence, circumstances which are peculiar to the accused, a reasonable possibility of the presence of the accused not being secured at trial, reasonable apprehension of the witnesses being tampered with, the larger interests of the public and the state”.
With these observations, the court denied bail.
