Holding
The Court declined to grant bail and dismissed the petitioner's bail application.
Summary
The petitioner, Pachan (also known as Brindanand), was charged under Sections 109 and 3(5) of the B.N.S. and Section 27 of the Arms Act for allegedly firing at a victim and causing a firearm injury to the neck. He applied for regular bail, claiming he was falsely implicated and noting that he has two prior criminal cases for which he is already out on bail, and that he has been in custody since 08-04-2026. The State, represented by the Additional Public Prosecutor, opposed the bail on the ground of the seriousness of the offence. The Court, after hearing both sides, held that given the gravity of the charges and the petitioner’s antecedents, bail could not be granted. Consequently, the bail application was dismissed.
Issues considered
- Whether bail should be granted to the petitioner despite the seriousness of the offences under the B.N.S. and Arms Act
- Whether the petitioner’s claim of false implication and prior criminal antecedents affect the bail decision
