Injured eye witness and complainant, both have been examined and, therefore, there is no chance of the petitioner intimidating or influencing the material witnesses. It has further been contended that initially it was only a case under Section 324 IPC, subsequently on 20.04.2009, Section 308 IPC has been invoked. Learned counsel for the respondent-state, does not dispute these facts. Rather it has been stated that 5 witnesses have already been Crl. Misc. No. M-302 of 2010 2 examined. Considering the fact that injured eye witness and complainant have already been examined; there is no chance of petitioner intimidating the witnesses; Section 308 IPC was invoked after approximately 1 month of the incident, this petition is allowed.
