Holding

The Court granted bail to the petitioner upon furnishing a bail bond of Rs. 10,000 with two sureties.

Summary

The petitioner, Mohammad Inamul Ansari, was arrested in connection with Banmankhi Police Station Case No. 106 of 2026, alleged to have committed offences under Sections 310(4), 310(5), 111(3) of the B.N.S. and Sections 25(1‑b)a, 26 and 35 of the Arms Act. The prosecution’s case is based on a police tip that a group of miscreants planned a crime, leading to the seizure of a loaded pistol from another accused, Md. Manan, and the identification of the petitioner from Manan’s statement. The petitioner contended that he is innocent, has no criminal antecedent, and that no material has been recovered from his possession; his name appears only in the statement of Md. Manan. The State opposed bail, arguing the seriousness of the offences. After hearing both sides, the Court found the lack of direct evidence against the petitioner sufficient to grant bail, subject to a bond of Rs. 10,000 and two sureties.

Issues considered

  • Whether bail should be granted to the petitioner despite the seriousness of the offences under the B.N.S. and the Arms Act.
  • Whether the petitioner’s alleged involvement, based solely on another accused’s statement, warrants continued detention.

2   24-06-2026                   Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned

                   APP for the State.

                                2. The petitioner has prayed for bail in connection

                   with Banmankhi P.S. Case No. 106 of 2026 registered for the

                   offence punishable under Sections 310(4), 310(5), 111(3) of the

                   B.N.S., and Sections 25(1-b)a, 26 and 35 of the Arms Act.

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

                   police had secret input that certain miscreants had gathered for

                   committing some offence, and on this input, police reached the

                   place of occurrence. It is alleged that certain persons managed

                   to flee away whereas three persons, namely, Md. Manan, Md.

                   Javed and Md. Istayak were apprehended and from the

                   possession of Md. Manan, one country-made pistol fully loaded

          with cartridge and mobiles were recovered.

                       4. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the

          petitioner has submitted that petitioner is innocent and has

          committed no offence. He has been falsely implicated in this

          case. He also submits that as per the case of the prosecution, the

          petitioner is one amongst the fled away person. The name of this

          petitioner has surfaced on the basis of statement of Md. Manan.

          Nothing has been recovered from the possession of this

          petitioner. The present case is based mainly on the input of

          police. There is no concrete material against the petitioner. He

          further submits that a statement has been made in para 3 of the

          petition that petitioner has no criminal antecedent and he is

          languishing in judicial custody since 26.04.2026.

                       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. 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
