JAMMU, May 2: Third Additional Sessions Judge Jammu, Sanjay Parihar, today rejected the bail application of Sub-Inspector Vijay Kumar, against whom a case has been registered at Satwari Police Station for firing on Nitin Gupta (presently Secretary Young Lawyers Association) from his service revolver allegedly with the intention to kill him over a land dispute.
After hearing Advocate S M Choudhary appearing for the petitioner whereas Additional Public Prosecutor G S Charak for the State and Advocate Nitin Gupta, 3rd Additional Sessions Judge observed, “the offence is non-bailable in nature and against society and public at large. If petitioner is granted bail it will definitely cause fear in the complainant and his witnesses as the petitioner is a police officer and after committing heinous offence, has been roaming large with tactical supports of investigating agency”.
“He is asking for relief of bail by way of surrender which would shatter the confidence of society and public at large. Despite case having been registered on December 17, 2011, petitioner was not arrested and the fact that he sought bail by way of surrender makes it apprehensible that either he has prevailed over the investigation process or if released on bail, he may use his position to influence prosecution witnesses”.
With these observations, the court rejected the bail application.
