This judgment in the centre: on the left the decisions it cites, on the right the decisions citing it. Colour is the treatment; choose a decision to open it.
1. Learned Advocate for the petitioners submits that there is no eye- witness to the incident and none has seen the present petitioners committing the alleged offence. Charge-sheet has already been submitted. Initially, 12 persons were named as accused in the FIR. Subsequently, some of the persons were discharged from the case. He submits that, since the charge-sheet has been submitted in the present case, the benefit under Section 482 of the BNSS can be extended in favour of the petitioners.
2. Learned Advocate for the State produces the case diary and Memo of Evidence and opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. He submits that, from the dying declaration, it would be evident that, before the victim succumbed to his injuries, he disclosed the names of both the petitioners as his assailants.
3. Heard the learned Advocates for the respective parties and perused the CD and other materials on record, including the post- mortem report. The post-mortem report suggests that the victim suffered multiple chop injuries on his body and that the death
2 was homicidal in nature. Prima facie, it appears that, before his demise, the victim disclosed the names of the petitioners as his assailants. Taking note of this fact, I am of the view that it would not be apposite to extend the privilege under Section 482 of the BNSS in favour of the petitioners.
4. Accordingly, prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected.
