The application for regular bail is dismissed.
Summary
Binod Chaudhary applied for regular bail in a case registered under multiple sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 and Section 27 of the Arms Act, alleging that he shot the victim and caused grievous injury to the victim's right leg. The prosecution contended that the petitioner was responsible for the shooting, while the petitioner’s counsel maintained his innocence and argued for bail after more than four months of custody. The court examined the seriousness of the alleged offence, particularly the use of a firearm and the resulting grievous injury. Considering these facts, the judge was not persuaded to grant bail.
