Quick Summary: Wakil, accused in a stolen vehicle case, gets bail as evidence is lacking. The decision was made by Judge Girish Kathpalia on February 27, 2026, in New Delhi.
Wakil, the person asking for bail, was involved in a case about a stolen vehicle. The vehicle was allegedly found with his brother, who is also accused. The case was registered under E-FIR No. 000323/2026 at the Mayapuri police station for offenses under Section 305(B)/317(2)/3(5) BNS.
Wakil's lawyers argued that there was no evidence against him, and he had been in jail since January 6, 2026. The prosecution, represented by Mr. Hemant Mehla and Officer Sandeep Bishnoi, admitted there was no direct evidence linking Wakil to the theft.
"The allegedly stolen vehicle was recovered from the co-accused, who has already been granted bail."
The only piece of evidence was a CCTV clip from a gas station, showing a person wearing a muffler coming out of the vehicle. The prosecution claimed this person was Wakil. However, the judge found this evidence insufficient.
Given the lack of strong evidence, Judge Girish Kathpalia decided to grant bail to Wakil. The bail was set at a personal bond of ₹10,000 with one surety of the same amount.
"Considering the above circumstances, I do not find any reason to keep the accused/applicant in jail any longer."
A copy of the order was sent to the jail superintendent to inform Wakil. A copy was also given to Wakil's lawyer for further proceedings.
In summary, the court granted bail to Wakil due to insufficient evidence, highlighting the need for solid proof in legal cases and the court's responsibility to ensure fair treatment.
