Holding
Bail could not be granted as the allegations were direct, specific and supported by medical evidence.
Summary
Vikash Sah was arrested on 4 April 2025 in connection with a murder case (PS Parsauni Case No 48 of 2025) under Sections 103, 80, 238 and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita, 2023. The prosecution alleges that he conspired with 8‑10 unknown persons to murder a woman and burn the body to destroy evidence. The petitioner pleaded that he has a clean record, was falsely implicated and therefore sought bail. The State opposed, contending that the FIR contains direct, specific allegations backed by witness testimony and medical evidence. The court examined the material and, noting the seriousness of the charges and the supporting evidence, refused to grant bail. Consequently, the petition for bail was dismissed.
Issues considered
- Whether the petitioner is entitled to bail in a murder and related offences case under the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita, 2023 given the presence of direct allegations and medical evidence.
