No. 144 of 2007 (State Vs. Haneef) arising out of Case Crime No. 218 of 2006 under Sections 147, 148, 302, 149, 120-B I.P.C., Police Station Kurdfatehgarh, District Moradabad.

The appellant before this Court has been convicted for the aforesaid offences and has been sentenced for rigorous imprisonment for life  along with fine of Rs. 15000/- and in default of the payment, the accused is required to undergo further rigorous imprisonment for a period of one year and concurrently Rs. 50,000/- has been awarded as compensation to the widow of the deceased.

Learned counsel for the appellant submitted that the appellant-Haneef was stated to be carrying 'Sooza', Taufeeq was stated to carry 'Fabra' and other three co-accused namely Anees, Hafeej and Tasreef were stated to carry 'Lathi'. From the postmortem report, it is clear that there is no incised wound on the body of the deceased. He further submitted that the appellant is entitled to be released on bail .

From the judgment of the Trial Court, we find that all the five accused had assaulted the deceased-Jalis Khan. First Information Report was lodged within two hours of the incident. The incident as disclosed was well supported by the eye witness account as well by the medical evidence.

The prosecution witness had stated that the accused had not used the sharp side of the 'Sooza' but used its handle to injure the deceased.

The trial court has considered the evidence available on record and has held the appellant guilty of the offence as alleged.

We are of the considered opinion that no ground to release the appellant on bail is made out. Accordingly, the bail application is rejected.
