JAMMU, Jan 16: Chief Judicial Magistrate Preet Simran Kour today rejected the bail application of Ravinder Singh, Meter Reader in PDD, who fired on advocate Kanav Sharma on January 3, 2025.
After hearing the court observed that nothing on record has come that parties were already known to each other or that they had previous enmity with each other meaning thereby that applicant/accused had no malafide intention to kill victim.
However, one cannot lose sight to the act of applicant/accused who carried pistol with him and that too at day time. Although, there is no bar in keeping a licensed pistol with him, however that does not give him right to harm anyone and opens fire in broad day light over a minor issue of parking which is unbecoming of a good citizen and is a great threat to the safety of society and under such circumstances, one cannot take a plea of right of applicant as to his personal liberty and his health issues.
The present incident has taken place in broad day light at a public place where people from all walks of life were around, and there were more chances of mishap to other persons around also & Judge added that in my opinion, to curb such incidents which is threat to peace and security of general public and society at large, court has to deal with such persons with tough hands & the accused/applicant is alleged to have committed a serious offence of attempt to murder which is a heinous offence & rejected the bail application.
