Vicky and Rummy Bajwa out on bail

The prosecution contested the bail applications on grounds that the stolen articles of complainant Ashok Agarwal had to be recovered from the possession of the accused. The defence counsel, however, submitted that police remand had already been sought twice and yet no recovery had been effected.

The complainant had in the FIR alleged that he was denied entry into the disco on grounds that he was not accompanied by a female partner. Following this, there had been an altercation and Vicky and Rummy had allegedly beaten the complainant and snatched his gold chain, purse and mobile phone.

The FIR in the case was registered on May 7 and the accused arrested on May 8 under Sections 147, 148, 323 and 382 IPC. They had been remanded to police custody for two days and judicial custody for a day.

The Judge also considered the fact that the registration of FIR in the case had been inordinately delayed. While the incident occurred on December 26 last year, the FIR was lodged on May 7 this year.
