Long abscondence

Mere abscondence by itself is not sufficient to withhold the concession of bail when the accused otherwise becomes entitled for the grant of bail.

Legal heir of one of the deceased allegedly submitted affidavit in favour of accused persons before the investigating officer, who on basis of such affidavit opined that accused persons were innocent

Post mortem report of deceased persons revealed that they received dozens of firearm injuries at the hands of accused

Accused persons absconded after the occurrence and remained proclaimed offenders for six years, for which they offered no explanation

Factum of unexplained abscondence would extinguish some of the normal rights of accused persons guaranteed under substantive as well as procedural law

F.I.R. had been lodged against accused persons for submitting a forged affidavit on behalf of a legal heir of one of the deceased

Even if said affidavit was considered to be genuine, benefit of the same could not be extended to accused persons as legal heir, who had allegedly submitted the same, had not witnessed the incident at the spot

Opinion of Investigation Officer was nothing but an expression full of arbitrariness, capriciousness and perversity

Offence allegedly committed by accused persons entailed capital punishment and fell within the prohibitory clause of S. 497(1), Cr.P.C.

Bail application of accused persons was dismissed in circumstances.
