Both the applications met the same fate and were dismissed by order dated 11.11.2017 of the learned First Additional Sessions Judge, Jammu " the Court observed.
The factual background of the case is that on 11th October, 2017, Vishal Gupta S/o Mahinder Parkash Gupta R/O H.No. 229 Sector 6 Channi Himmat lodged a written report before the authorities at Police Station Channi Himmat Jammu, stating therein that accused Ankit Gupta and Mohit Gupta launched murderous attack on him.

The High Court in its Order further observed that in the present case, the accused are allegedly involved in the commission of offences under Sections 307/452/147 RPC and 4/25 Arms Act and out of the accused involved in the said occurrence, only two of them namely Ankit Gupta and Mohit Gupta were arrested on 12th and 13th of October 2017 and they were released on bail on 28. 10.2017 by the Court of learned CJM, Jammu.
