Holding
The Court granted regular bail to the petitioner, subject to bond and surety conditions.
Summary
Muskan Ansari was arrested in connection with offences under Sections 303(2), 126(2), 109 and 3(5) of the BNS read with Section 27 of the Arms Act. The petitioner claimed that the informant’s version of the incident – being robbed of Rs.25,000 at 1:30 a.m. after a birthday party – was implausible and that he had been falsely implicated. He argued that he had no prior criminal record except one case, had been in custody since 11‑11‑2025, and would not abscond if released. The State opposed regular bail, citing the seriousness of the charges. The Court, after considering the submissions, ordered the petitioner’s release on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.25,000 with two sureties, one of whom is his father, and warned that bail could be cancelled if the trial is delayed. The bail application was therefore allowed.
Issues considered
- Whether regular bail can be granted in a case involving offences under Sections 303(2), 126(2), 109, 3(5) of the BNS and Section 27 of the Arms Act.
- Whether the petitioner’s claim of false implication and lack of flight risk merit bail.

Ansari (petitioner) and claims that he can identify the other
accused persons.
4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that
petitioner has been falsely implicated in the instant case by the

known to each other, as such, the petitioner would not have
participated in the occurrence fearing that he will be identified.
It is further submitted that though in the FIR, it is alleged that
unknown accused fired causing firearm injury to the informant,
but then petitioner is not alleged to have fired. It is further
submitted that charges have been framed and if privilege of bail
is granted, the petitioner will not abscond rather will cooperate
in the trial to prove his innocence.
5. Learned A.P.P. for the State opposes the regular bail
application of the petitioner.
6. Considering the submissions made by the learned
counsel for the petitioner, the petitioner above-named, is

Court shall be at liberty to cancel the bail bonds of the
petitioner.
9. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed.
