Holding
The Court refused to grant bail and dismissed the bail application.
Summary
The petitioner, Suday Kumar, applied for regular bail in a case registered under Section 309(4) of the BNS, alleging that he was involved in the interception, robbery, and kidnapping of an informant. The prosecution alleged that unknown accused seized the informant's vehicle, stole his belongings, and confined him before abandoning him in Jehanabad, from where he was rescued. The petitioner has been in custody since 21‑06‑2025 and is implicated in thirteen other serious criminal cases, with his name appearing in a co‑accused's self‑incriminating statement. Considering the gravity of the alleged offences, the petitioner’s extensive criminal history, and the risk of tampering with evidence or influencing witnesses, the Court found no sufficient ground to grant bail. Consequently, the bail application was dismissed.
Issues considered
- Whether regular bail should be granted to the petitioner under Section 309(4) of the BNS given the seriousness of the alleged offences and his involvement in multiple other cases.
