Holding
The Court granted bail to both petitioners.
Summary
The petitioners, Jabbar and Sattar, were charged under Sections 310(4), 310(5) and 111 of the B.N.S. and Sections 25(1‑b)a, 26 and 37 of the Arms Act in a case arising from Maranga Police Station. The prosecution alleged that co‑accused persons were apprehended with arms and that the petitioners were implicated by those co‑accused. The petitioners contended they had committed no offence, no arms were recovered from them, and they had been in judicial custody since June and August 2025; they also pointed out that a co‑accused had already been granted bail. The State opposed bail, highlighting the petitioners’ prior criminal antecedents. After hearing both sides, the Court decided to enlarge bail, directing each petitioner to furnish a bail bond of Rs 10,000 with two sureties, subject to the satisfaction of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Purnea.
