| Accused denied bail in JDA double murder case | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Nov 15- Rejecting the bail application of Gandarb Singh, one of the accused involved in the much publicized double murder case in JDA complex, that took place on April 24, 2001, Justice Sunil Hali of J&K High Court Jammu Wing today directed the trial Court to conclude the defence witnesses within three hearings and then decide the matter within three months from the date the statements of defence witnesses is concluded.
Justice Hali, after scanning the evidence which has come on record more particularly the statement of Sanjeev Kumar, observed that Court does not find that the petitioner is entitled to bail at this stage. He further observed that since the earlier application for grant of bail has been dismissed by the Sessions Judge Jammu and there is no change in the situation. It has also come on record that this case is now pending for recording evidence of defence. This delay cannot be attributed to the prosecution. The defence is required to expedite the examination of witnesses, the Court observed.
In his approved for reporting judgment Justice Hali directed that Trial Court shall conclude the defence witnesses within three hearings and then decide the matter within three months from the date of statements of defence witnesses is concluded. The Trial Court will be at liberty to record its findings after the conclusion of the trial uninfluenced by any observation made by this Court. JNF
