Holding

The application for regular bail is dismissed.

Summary

Vikash Kumar was arrested in connection with a case involving assault that led to the death of an informant’s father, and is charged under Sections 341, 302, 120B, 504, 506, 34 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 27 of the Arms Act. He has been in custody since 14 November 2023 and this is his third application for regular bail.
