Holding
Bail was denied because the seriousness of the charges, including murder and weapons offences, warranted the petitioners’ continued custody.
Summary
The petitioners, Upendra Yadav and Munna Yadav, were arrested in connection with the death of an informant’s brother, who was allegedly assaulted with a sickle and a spade. They were charged under Sections 191(2), 191(3), 190, 103(1), 109 of the B.N.S. and Section 27 of the Arms Act. The petitioners applied for bail, arguing that they had been in custody since 14‑10‑2025. The Court examined the seriousness of the offences, including the alleged murder and possession of a weapon, and concluded that the nature of the accusations warranted denial of bail. Consequently, the bail petition was rejected, and the trial court was directed to expedite the trial proceedings.
Issues considered
- Whether bail should be granted to the accused persons charged with offences under Sections 191(2), 191(3), 190, 103(1), 109 of the B.N.S. and Section 27 of the Arms Act?
- Whether the seriousness of the alleged assault leading to death justifies denial of bail?
