Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Sept 16: Principal Sessions Judge Kathua Vinod Chatterji Koul today rejected the anticipatory bail applications of four persons involved in rape and kidnapping case.
These accused persons are Ashfaq Ahmed, son of Gulshan Ahmed of Chandyar, Ghulam Nabi, son of Ghulam Mohd of Bani, Shamsh Din, son of Mangta of Chandyar and Gulshan Ahmed, son of Mohd Ramzan of Bani.
After hearing both the sides, the court observed, “the severity of the crime alleged to have been committed by the petitioners, the supporting evidence and all other connected facts, do justify an inference that petitioners may misuse the concession of bail to escape the dragnet of law”.
Stating that concession  of bail cannot be extended, court said, “there are so many aggravating circumstances, which disentitle the petitioners from claiming the concession of bail”.
