HC denies bail in murder case

Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, June 28: High Court has rejected the bail application of one Sohan Singh, who is facing trial in a murder case.
“The High Court, being a superior and Constitutional Court, has unfettered powers to entertain an application for grant of bail of an accused whose bail application has been rejected by an inferior court but then there has to be some fresh grounds before the High Court to persuade it to take a view different from the one taken by the trial court”, Justice Sanjay Dhar said.
“The counsel for the petitioner has not urged any such ground that would persuade this court to take a view different from the one taken by the trial court. In fact, the order of trial court is well-reasoned and lucid and this court does not find any ground to take a different view”, Justice Dhar further said.
