Holding
The court held that bail could not be granted and dismissed the petitioner's application.
Summary
The petitioner, Bablu Sah, was arrested in connection with a triple murder case registered under Sections 302 and 120(B) of the Indian Penal Code and Section 27 of the Arms Act. He applied for regular bail for the second time after an earlier bail application was rejected on 28 June 2024. The High Court examined the material evidence linking the petitioner to the crime and noted that he had been in custody since 22 December 2023. The court found that the seriousness of the offences and the risk of tampering with evidence warranted denial of bail. Consequently, the bail applications were dismissed and the petitioner was ordered to remain in custody. The court also directed the lower court to expedite the trial and conclude it at the earliest.
Issues considered
- Whether regular bail should be granted to the petitioner charged with murder, conspiracy and an offence under the Arms Act
- Whether there are sufficient grounds to review the earlier order denying bail
