Holding
The Court held that bail could not be granted and dismissed the application.
Summary
The petitioner, Golu Kumar, was arrested in connection with a case registered under Sections 309(4) and 317(2) of the B.N.S., alleged to involve loot. He applied for regular bail, claiming false implication despite having three prior criminal antecedents and being in custody since September 2025. The State opposed bail on the ground that the petitioner is named in the FIR. The Court considered the seriousness of the alleged offences and the petitioner’s criminal record. Concluding that the gravity of the offence outweighed the petitioner's assurances, the Court denied bail. The bail application was therefore dismissed.
