Holding
The Court ordered that bail be granted to each petitioner upon furnishing a Rs. 25,000 bond with two sureties, subject to conditions.
Summary
The petitioners, three residents of Dilawarpur, were arrested in connection with a land‑related dispute during which a boundary wall was demolished and firearms were allegedly discharged, injuring the informant's son. They faced multiple charges under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (including sections 190, 191, 126, 115, 324, 352, 351, 109) and Section 27 of the Arms Act. The petitioners contended that they were falsely implicated, that the injury was minor, and that the allegation of indiscriminate firing was exaggerated. They applied for regular bail, assuring cooperation with the trial, while the State opposed the bail on grounds of the seriousness of the offences. The High Court, after considering the submissions, granted bail to each petitioner on condition of a Rs. 25,000 bond with two sureties, and warned that the trial court could cancel bail if the petitioners attempted to delay the proceedings.
Issues considered
- Whether bail should be granted to the accused persons charged with offences under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Arms Act.
- Whether the nature of the alleged offences and the risk of absconding or tampering with evidence justify denial of bail.
