Difficult To Conclude If Accused Were Onlookers Or Real Culprits: Rajasthan HC Grants Bail To Men Accused Of Attacking Religious Procession

Live Law  

The Jodhpur bench of the Rajasthan High Court granted bail to several men accused of beating, throwing stones and using casteist slurs at members of a religious procession, noting that it was difficult to conclude whether the men were mere onlookers or the real culprits especially since there was no similar case pending against them. The court passed the order in two appeals filed by the appellants against the order of the Special Judge, SC/ST Act, which had rejected their bail pleas. After hearing the contentions a single judge bench of Justice Kuldeep Mathur in its order said, "Having considered the rival submissions, facts and circumstances of the case, this Court prima facie finds that the investigation in relation to the cross FIRs is being conducted by the Investigating Agency. This Court further finds that presently, it is very difficult to reach to a conclusion as to whether the appellants were mere onlookers or the real culprits, particularly, when no case of similar nature is pending against the appellants.
