JAMMU, Jan 17: 3rd Additional Sessions Judge Jammu Madan Lal today rejected the bail application of Ubaid-Ul-Islam, an alleged JeM militant, who was arrested with arms and ammunition at Police Check Post Lakhanpur on September 12, 2019.
After hearing both the sides, the court observed, “delay in trial of serious offences cannot be ground for grant of bail. The trial of the case is at mid stage and more than half of the witnesses are yet to be examined and charges have been framed on 21.02.2022”.
“Therefore, considering the facts, evidence recorded and yet to be recorded, relevant provisions of law and case-law, the applicant has failed to substantiate the grounds taken in the application for grant of bail both factually and legally so the application of the applicant is premature and without merits”, the court said while rejecting the bail application.
