Holding
The application for regular bail was dismissed.
Summary
The petitioner, Satyendra Yadav, was arrested in connection with a FIR (Ghoshi P.S. Case No. 184 of 2024) alleging offences under Sections 147, 148, 149, 341, 323, 307, 379 and 302 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 27 of the Arms Act. He has been in custody since 9 May 2024 and this is his second application for regular bail after a prior denial on 15 October 2025. The petitioner contended that he is innocent, that key witnesses such as the investigating officer and the treating doctor have not been examined for a year, and that the trial is delayed. The State opposed the bail, emphasizing the seriousness of the charges, including murder and firearm injury. The Court observed that the trial is on the verge of conclusion and therefore dismissed the bail application. The Superintendent of Police was directed to ensure the attendance of two witnesses within a month and to file a compliance report.
