Holding
The Court dismissed the bail applications, denying bail to the petitioners.
Summary
The petitioners, Ashish Raj Yadav and Anshu Chandrawanshi, applied for bail in two criminal miscellaneous cases arising from Barun Police Station Case No. 20 of 2025, alleging offences under Sections 103(1), 3(5), and 61(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and Section 27 of the Arms Act. The prosecution alleged that the petitioners were involved in the killing of the deceased. During trial, all private witnesses had been examined and only three witnesses remained to be examined. Considering the seriousness of the alleged murder and the advanced stage of the trial, the Court was not inclined to grant bail. Consequently, the bail applications were dismissed.
