Shivam@Chhotu Kushwah vs State Of Madhya Pradesh

Sunita Yadav, J

This is the first application filed by the applicant under Section 439 of the Cr.P.C. for grant of bail relating to FIR No. 0169 of 2024 registered at Police Station Gwalior, District Gwalior (M.P.) for the offence under Sections 294, 307 and 34 of IPC.

Learned counsel for the applicant argued that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated. No role has been attributed on him of firing gunshot at the complainant. As per prosecution story, he was simply hurling abuses. It is further argued that applicant is in custody since 20.3.2024. Nothing has to be seized from the possession of the applicant, therefore, there is no requirement of further custodial interrogation of the applicant. Further argument is that applicant is the permanent resident of District Gwalior (M.P.) having no criminal antecedents and there is no possibility of his absconsion or tampering with the prosecution evidence. On these grounds, he prays for grant of bail to the applicant.

O n the other hand, learned State counsel opposed the application and prayed for its rejection.

Heard learned counsel for the rival parties and perused the case diary available on record.
