ORDER BELOW BAIL APPLICATION, EXH.23
(Filed by Accused No.3, Mr. Pavatharni R. P. S. L.)
1. Taken on board today in view of request made by Ld. Advocate for
the applicant/accused. Perused record. Heard Ld. Advocate for the
accused person/applicant. Heard Ld. A.P.P.
2. By way of this application accused sought bail mainly on the
grounds that he is innocent. Nothing incriminating found against him
during investigation. There is no role attributed to him. Investigation
relating to him is over. He is ready to remain abide by the conditions, etc.
3. Ld. A.P.P. objected to it stating that allegations are serious.
Involvement of the accused persons transpired in the incidence. There are
several offences lodged against applicant. There is possibility of
tampering and absconding, besides other grounds.
4. Admittedly investigation is completed and charge sheet has already
been filed. Much has been already discussed in previous bail orders. But
it is necessary to mention that the role attributed to accused is that he
accompanied a person receiving gold collected from the shop by one of
the accused and was also accompanied by another accused Mr. John
David, whose bail application has already been rejected. Then the
question arises whether the present applicant is entitled to bail or not?
5. The record reflects that the present applicant only accompanied Mr.
John David. Except this, there found nothing against him to connect
applicant with the main allegations. Investigation is over. The relevant
evidence in that regard is already collected. All the witnesses are
interested persons and evidence mainly constitutes documentary
evidence. Thus, in respect of accused also the possibility of tampering is
almost nil. The offence is triable by this court itself. Accused is ready to
remain abide by the conditions. He seems to be of tender age. The
