J&K High Court Grants Bail to Man Accused of Killing His Wife with a Rifle

The Jammu and Kashmir High Court granted regular bail to a man accused of killing his wife with a rifle, citing a lack of credible evidence.

The Court noted that key witnesses, including the couple's children, either denied seeing the incident or changed their earlier statements.

Even the seizure of the weapon was doubtful, as witnesses said they just signed papers without witnessing the recovery. The Court held that 13 out of 20 witnesses had no proof linking the accused to the crime.

Citing Section 485 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, the Court granted bail with strict conditions. (Yashpaul Sharma Vs UT of J&K)
