The incident took place on 03/04/2002 at about 11.15 P.M. at Hajari Chowk, Manendragarh. The case of the prosecution is that the accused persons, after forming unlawful assembly in furtherance of their common object to commit the murder of Shiv Kumar Gupta, had attacked him with the weapons namely firearms, gun, sword, katta etc. and in the incident Shiv Kumar Gupta received serious injuries including gun shot injury.

(3.)THESE petitions have been filed by complainant Shiv Kuamr Gupta on the ground that the accused/non -applicants have been granted bail to the utter surprise of every one on unjustified grounds within a very short period from the date of incident. Accused Ajay Arora has been admitted to bail on the ground that no injury was inflicted by him and trial of the case is likely to take sometime. The learned Additional Sessions Judge, Baikunthpur admitted to bail accused Harjeet Singh Chhabra on the ground that looking to the nature of offence and the fact that the other co -accused has been released on bail, he deserved to be enlarged on bail, Accused Surendra Sindwani and Harun Memon have been admitted to bail on the ground that they were merely present along with the main accused Harjeet Singh at the place of the incident with clubs. Accused Gurubakhsh Singh Chhabra, Jasbir Singh Raina alias Babloo, Gurjeet Singh Raina alias Tingu, Narendra Singh Raina alias Bunty have been admitted to bail on the ground of parity as also on the ground that the trial of the case is likely to take time.
