Holding
The Court held that bail could not be granted to the petitioners at this stage.
Summary
The petitioners, Dilkash Rahi and MD Wasim, were arrested in connection with a murder case (PS Tedhagachh Case No. 145/2025) alleged under Sections 103(1), 238(a) and 3(5) of the B.N.S. They applied for regular bail, claiming they were falsely implicated, have no prior criminal record, and are willing to cooperate with the trial. The State, represented by the Additional Public Prosecutor, opposed bail, asserting that the investigation showed the petitioners deliberately stabbed the deceased due to prior enmity. The Court examined the seriousness of the offence, the evidence presented, and the risk of interference with the investigation, and concluded that bail could not be granted at this stage. Consequently, the bail application was dismissed, though the petitioners were permitted to file a fresh bail application if the trial is unduly delayed by the prosecution.
Issues considered
- Whether bail should be granted to the accused in a murder case under Sections 103(1), 238(a) and 3(5) of the B.N.S. considering the seriousness of the offence and the evidence of prior enmity.
