Holding
The court granted bail to the petitioner upon furnishing the prescribed bond and sureties.
Summary
The petitioner, Pappu Sahni, applied for bail in a case registered under multiple sections of the BNS, alleging that he was falsely implicated in a violent incident that also caused injuries to both parties. He had been in custody since 20 December 2025. The prosecution argued that the offences were serious, while the petitioner’s counsel contended his innocence and highlighted his own injuries. The learned counsel for the State opposed bail. After considering the facts, the court ordered the petitioner’s release on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000 with two sureties of the same amount, subject to the conditions of the lower court. The order was limited to the bail application and did not prejudice the merits of the trial.
