Holding
The court denied regular bail to the petitioner.
Summary
Avinash Kumar was charged under Section 310(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 for a robbery in which an informant’s motorcycle, driving licence and Aadhaar card were stolen. The prosecution alleged that the stolen items were recovered from the petitioner, while the petitioner claimed innocence and sought regular bail after being in custody since 20‑06‑2025. The State opposed bail, highlighting three prior criminal convictions of the petitioner. The court examined the evidence, including the recovery of the stolen documents, and considered the petitioner’s criminal antecedents. Concluding that the circumstances did not warrant release, the court rejected the regular bail application.
Issues considered
- Whether regular bail should be granted to a person accused under Section 310(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 in view of the recovery of stolen items from him
- Whether the petitioner’s three prior criminal antecedents justify denial of bail
