Holding
The Court held that bail could not be granted as there were no fresh grounds to revisit the earlier denial.
Summary
Shivam Kumar, a 24‑year‑old male, was arrested in connection with a case registered under Sections 387, 307, 34 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 27 of the Arms Act for allegedly firing at an informant with intent to kill. He had previously applied for regular bail, which was rejected by the Patna High Court in a 2025 order. On a fresh application, the petitioner argued that there were no new grounds to revisit the earlier decision. The Court examined the seriousness of the offences, the presence of a weapon, and the lack of any change in circumstances. Finding no fresh material, the Court upheld the earlier view and again denied bail. The petition for bail was consequently dismissed.
Issues considered
- What is the appropriate decision on the petitioner's application for regular bail in light of the pending charges under IPC Sections 387, 307, 34 and Arms Act Section 27?
