Holding
The Court granted bail to the petitioner.
Summary
The petitioner, Tikkar Yadav, was arrested in connection with an FIR alleging participation in an unlawful assembly, assault on an informant's son, firing at the deceased Rakesh Kumar, and kidnapping, under Sections 103(1), 140(1), 238 read with 3(5) of the B.N.S., 2023 and Section 27 of the Arms Act. The petitioner sought bail, arguing that the FIR's allegation of firing conflicted with the post‑mortem report, which showed only a blunt‑force injury, and noting that co‑accused had already been released on bail. The State opposed the bail application. The Court considered the contradictions in the evidence, the period of custody since 4 August 2025, and the fact that a chargesheet had been filed, and decided to grant bail on a bond of Rs 10,000 with two sureties.
Issues considered
- What is the appropriateness of granting bail to the petitioner charged with offences under the B.N.S., 2023 and the Arms Act, considering the alleged contradictions between the FIR and the post‑mortem report and the period of custody?
