The Court granted regular bail to the petitioner subject to a bond of Rs.10,000 with two sureties and conditions of cooperation with the trial.
Summary
Vikky Sah petitioned for regular bail in a case registered under Sections 147, 148, 149, 326 and 307 of the Indian Penal Code, alleging that he had thrown acid on an informant and his brother. The prosecution contended that the offences involved rioting, attempt to murder and causing grievous hurt. The petitioner claimed the case was false, stating his father had been killed by the accused persons and that he had been in custody since 21‑11‑2025. The Court examined the facts, the seriousness of the charges and the petitioner's claim of a false case. It ordered the release of the petitioner on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000 with two sureties and directed him to cooperate with the trial, warning that non‑compliance would lead to cancellation of bail.
