Kanchan Singh, who is in jail in connection with Crime No. 710 of 2006, relating of offences punishable under Sections 147, 148, 149, 307, 224, 225, 120-B of I.P.C., Police Station Tallital, District Nainital, has sought her release on bail. The first bail application of the applicant was rejected on 19.06.2007 on merits. The applicant is woman, but the nature of the offence is grave. As per the prosecution case, she is said to have been involved in the conspiracy of jail break of three hardcore criminal detenues, who made an attempt and escaped from the jail. (However, they were chased and killed). Having considered the submissions of learned counsel for the parties, this Court finds no new ground to grant the bail. The bail application is rejected with the observation that the trial court will see that the trial is concluded as expeditiously as possible. (Prafulla C. Pant, J.) Dt. 05.09.2008 NS
