Holding
Bail was denied because the petitioner’s confession and the nature of his involvement indicated a risk of tampering with evidence and flight.
Summary
The petitioner, Akash @ Kallu, applied for bail in a case registered under Section 103(i) of the B.N.S. and Section 27 of the Arms Act. The FIR did not name any accused, but the petitioner’s own confession and that of co‑accused implicated him, and CCTV footage identified a person wearing a specific T‑shirt. The court noted that the petitioner’s involvement appeared significant, leading to the arrest of the identified individual and recovery of the T‑shirt. Consequently, the bench was not inclined to grant bail at this stage. However, the petitioner was permitted to renew the bail prayer if the trial does not commence within six months, and the bail application was rejected.
Issues considered
- Whether bail should be granted to the petitioner given his confession and alleged involvement in offences under Section 103(i) of the B.N.S. and Section 27 of the Arms Act
- Whether the nature of the petitioner’s involvement warrants denial of bail pending trial
