Holding
The court denied regular bail to the petitioner, finding the offences too grave and the evidence sufficient to warrant continued custody.
Summary
Aditya Yadav was arrested in connection with a Naxalite‑related case involving the recovery of a 10 kg bomb and charged under multiple sections of the Indian Penal Code, the Explosive Substances Act, the U.P. Act and the C.L. Act. He has been in custody since 24‑02‑2023 and is also implicated in eight other criminal cases. The petitioner sought regular bail for the offences listed, arguing that he should be released pending trial. The court examined the seriousness of the charges, the material linking the petitioner to the crime, and the pattern of delaying trial by withholding police papers. Considering the gravity of the offences and the risk of further obstruction of justice, the court declined to grant bail and dismissed the application.
Issues considered
- Whether regular bail should be granted to the petitioner despite the seriousness of the offences and the existence of substantial evidence linking him to the crime
- Whether the petitioner’s involvement in multiple other cases and alleged attempts to delay trial justify denial of bail

5. During the investigation, sufficient materials
have come to connect the petitioner with the crime. The
petitioner is also accused in eight more criminal cases. Further,
it appears that the accused persons have delayed the receiving of
police papers in order to delay the trial.
6. Considering the aforesaid facts and also the
gravity of offence, I am not inclined to grant the petitioner
privilege of regular bail. Accordingly, this bail application is
rejected.
