Holding
Bail was denied to the petitioner.
Summary
Vivek Kumar Singh applied for bail in a criminal case (PS No. 1039 of 2025) alleging that he was operating a mini gun factory and facing charges under Sections 112(2)(b) and 111(4) of the BNS, 2023 and Sections 25(1‑Ba), 26(2) and 35 of the Arms Act. The petitioner also has six prior cases pending against him. The Patna High Court, after hearing counsel, considered the seriousness of the alleged offences and the petitioner’s antecedent record. Finding that the allegations indicated a grave threat to public safety, the court declined to grant bail. The order was limited to the bail application and did not prejudice the merits of the trial, and the court also expressed concern over the petitioner’s continued employment pending disciplinary action.
Issues considered
- Whether bail should be granted to the petitioner given the alleged operation of a mini gun factory and his antecedent criminal record.

2/2

the purpose of adjudication of the present bail

as an expression on the merits of the case and shall not
influence the trial or any other proceedings in any
manner.
