| HC grants bail to SHO arrested in trap case | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, May 13: The Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh High Court today granted bail to Station House Officer (SHO) of Loran police station Ved Prakash who was caught red-handed while accepting Rs 10,000 bribe from the complainant.
Justice Javed Iqbal Wani observed that the petitioner is a police officer and it is not the case set up by the respondents that the petitioner is having such a background as a result of which he would influence the witnesses. Indisputably, the main witness in the matter is the complainant a police officer, the other evidence in the matter collected by the respondents against the petitioner is such regarding which there is not even a remote chance of asserting influence by the petitioner.
Justice Wani observed that in view of the aforesaid position, it is manifestly clear that there would be no danger to the course of justice at the hands of the petitioner, so much so there is no likelihood that the petitioner if enlarged on bail would repeat the offence.
The judge said that the SHO shall not leave the territorial jurisdiction of the trial court without seeking prior permission and in case respondent/CBI collects any material during the period the petitioner/accused are on bail that he is influencing the witnesses or has tried to intimidate them the prosecution would be within their rights to move an application before this court for cancellation of the bail. |
