Holding
The Court held that bail should be granted to the petitioner, subject to a bond of Rs 10,000 and two sureties.
Summary
The petitioner, Md. Tanveer, was arrested in connection with a case under sections 25(1‑B)(a), 26 and 35 of the Arms Act after a pistol was allegedly recovered from his possession during an attempted escape. He contended that no incriminating article was actually found on him and that he had been falsely implicated, having been in custody since 8 August 2025. The State opposed his regular bail application. The Court, after considering the seriousness of the arms charge, the fact that a charge‑sheet had been filed and the length of his pre‑trial detention, ordered that he be released on bail. Bail was conditioned on a bond of Rs 10,000 with two sureties of the same amount, to be approved by the Judicial Magistrate, 1st Class, Katihar. The order effectively granted the bail application.
Issues considered
- Whether the petitioner is entitled to regular bail under the Arms Act despite the alleged recovery of a pistol.
- Whether the nature of the allegations and the period of pre‑trial detention justify denial of bail.
