                                       ORAL ORDER

2   05-05-2026                   Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned

                   APP for the State.

                                 2. The petitioner has prayed for bail in connection

                   with Baniyapur P.S. Case No. 556 of 2025 registered for the

                   offence punishable under Section 317(5) of the B.N.S., 2023

                   and Sections 25(1-B)a, 26 of the Arms Act.

                                 3. The case of the prosecution, in short, is that from

                   the possession of the petitioner, one country-made loaded pistol

                   and a live cartridge and certain silver ornaments were

                   recovered.

                                 4. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the

                   petitioner has submitted that petitioner is innocent and has

                                            2/3




          committed no offence. He has been falsely implicated in this

          case. He also submits that nothing has been recovered from the

          possession of the petitioner. The witnesses of the seizure list

          are police personnel and the police has not complied with

          Section 105 of the BNSS while making the seizure. He further

          submits that the police has implicated the petitioner in this case

          on the basis of his antecedents. The petitioner is having

          criminal antecedent of nine cases. Petitioner is languishing in

          judicial custody since 17.12.2025.

                       5. The application for bail is opposed by learned APP

          for the State

                       6. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and

          considering the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court

          is inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail with the condition

          that the petitioner shall cooperate in the trial, shall remain

          physically present on each and every date fixed by the

          learned court below, one of the bailor should be his near

          relative and shall also mark his weekly attendance at

          Baniyapur P.S. The above named petitioner is directed to be

          enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Rs.

          ten thousand only) with two sureties of the like amount each to

          the satisfaction of the learned Judicial Magistrate, 1st Class,
