Holding
The court granted bail to the petitioner subject to bond and conditions.
Summary
Paramendra Singh was charged under Sections 126(2), 115(2), 352, 351(2) of the B.N.S. and Section 27 of the Arms Act for allegedly assaulting and threatening the informant during a boundary dispute on 7 August 2025. The petitioner argued that the dispute was petty, no injury was caused, no firearm or ammunition was recovered, and there were no independent eyewitnesses. The State opposed bail, citing the petitioner’s criminal antecedents. The court examined the lack of physical injury, absence of seized weapons, and the nature of the dispute, and concluded that these factors mitigated the risk of flight or tampering. Consequently, the court granted bail on a bond of Rs. 10,000 with two sureties and imposed conditions regarding surety relations and court attendance.
Issues considered
- Whether bail should be granted to the accused under the charged offences given the facts of the case
- Whether the petitioner’s criminal antecedents warrant denial of bail

the informant and it is only on account of a petty dispute that
the present case has been lodged which would be evident from

the cases arise out of dispute between the agnates.
