The petitioner, Inderpreet @ Shiv, sought regular bail in connection with FIR No. 150 of 2022 registered at Police Station Manpura, District Solan, Himachal Pradesh, for offences under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC and Section 27 of the Arms Act, relating to the alleged murder of one Harbhajan Singh @ Bunty whose body was found in bushes on 27.10.2022 with stab wounds. The petitioner argued he was falsely implicated, that the investigation was complete, that co-accused had been granted bail by the Supreme Court and the High Court respectively, and that trial had progressed slowly with only 11-12 of 51-60 witnesses examined after over three years. The State opposed bail citing the heinous nature of the offence punishable with death or life imprisonment. The court considered the parameters for granting bail as laid down by the Supreme Court in Pinki v. State of U.P. (2025) 7 SCC 314 and other precedents, examining factors such as nature of the charge, severity of punishment, parity with co-accused, and delay in trial.
