Holding
The court dismissed the bail application, refusing regular bail to the petitioner.
Summary
Nunubabu Paswan applied for regular bail in a case registered under Sections 109(1), 351(2), 3(5) of the B.N.S. and Section 27 of the Arms Act, alleging that he was falsely implicated after allegedly firing on an informant and injuring his ribs. The prosecution opposed bail, emphasizing the seriousness of the alleged assault with a firearm. The petitioner’s counsel highlighted his prior criminal antecedents, current custody since 16‑09‑2025, and willingness to cooperate with the trial. The court examined the gravity of the charges and the prosecution’s evidence, finding no sufficient ground to grant bail at this stage. Consequently, the bail application was dismissed, though the petitioner was permitted to file a fresh bail petition if the trial is unduly delayed.
Issues considered
- Whether bail should be granted to the petitioner in view of the alleged firing on an informant under Sections 109(1), 351(2), 3(5) of the B.N.S. and Section 27 of the Arms Act
- Whether the petitioner’s claim of false implication and his prior antecedents affect the bail decision
