- BAIL REJECTED
- Bench
- ARUN KUMAR JHA
Holding
No fresh ground for reconsideration of bail, therefore bail is denied.
Summary
Amir Khan, arrested on 13 May 2025, applied for bail for the second time after his earlier bail plea was rejected on 11 September 2025. He argued that the trial had not progressed since the charge was framed on 1 November 2025, that he had no intention to cause death, and that the death of the informant's father occurred in a free fight between two groups, while he has a clean antecedent. The State opposed, contending there were no new grounds to revisit the earlier bail denial. The Court examined the record and found no fresh ground for reconsideration, consequently rejecting the bail application. The trial court was directed to expedite the trial, and the Superintendent of Police was ordered to ensure witness production and to appear before the Court if he fails to do so.
