Delhi Riots: High Court Denies Bail To Accused As Prosecution Accuses Him Of Threatening Witnesses

Case: Shoaib Alam V. State Of Nct Of Delhi

Coram: Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma

Case No.: BAIL APPLN. 3208/2022

Court Observation: This Court does not find it a fit case for grant of bail, at this stage, when the witnesses are yet to be examined before the Trial Court. This Court also takes note of the fact that after threat assessment of threat to the witness, the concerned authorities have provided protection to witness, for threat being real.

Considering the fact that the eye witnesses have given account of the specific role played by the present applicant and the fact that threats are being extended in this case to the witnesses, this Court does not find it a fit case for grant of bail, at this stage, when the witnesses are yet to be examined before the Trial Court.
