The court granted regular bail to the petitioner.
Summary
The petitioner, Md. Aadil, was charged under IPC sections 307 (attempt to murder) and 34 (common intention) and under section 27 of the Arms Act for allegedly firing indiscriminately and injuring an informant. He contended that he was falsely implicated, had no intention to fire at the informant, and possessed no prior criminal record, having been in custody since 28 July 2025. The State opposed his regular bail application. The High Court, noting the six‑month custodial period, the filing of the charge‑sheet, and the petitioner’s clean antecedent, ordered that he be released on regular bail upon furnishing a bail bond of Rs.10,000 with two sureties, subject to the satisfaction of the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate‑II, Samastipur.
