Rajasthan HC Cancels Air Force Personnel's Anticipatory Bail Due To Misrepresentation, Hiding True Facts Like Grievous Injury Caused To Victim
Live LawThe Jodhpur bench of the Rajasthan High Court cancelled the anticipatory bail of an Air Force personnel on the grounds that he allegedly misrepresented and hid material true facts when he argued his anticipatory bail which was eventually granted last year. Justice Farjand Ali observed that during the proceedings of anticipatory bail, the counsel appearing for the accused had only mentioned the charges of hurt and endangering human life while hiding the charge of grievous hurt which was added on account of the victim permanently losing vision in his left eye due to the injury caused by the accused. However, the situation aggravated when the victim lost vision in his left eye permanently owing to the injuries suffered by him, following which another case was registered in October, 2023 adding the charge of grievous hurt. In this view of the matter, this Court feels that the benefit of anticipatory bail granted to the respondent-accused should be cancelled owing to the reason of misrepresentation and hiding of true facts particularly, grievous injury on left eye of the victim and addition of Section 326 of the IPC".
