Holding
The court upheld its earlier order and denied bail to the petitioner.
Summary
Bambam Singh was arrested in connection with a murder case (Section 302 IPC) involving alleged conspiracy (Section 120B IPC) and common intention (Section 34 IPC), as well as illegal possession of arms (Section 27 Arms Act). He applied for regular bail, but the trial had already commenced and the co‑accused’s self‑inculpatory statement implicated him. The petitioner argued that charges had been framed, seeking relief. The court noted the gravity of the offences, the existence of incriminating statements, and the fact that the trial was underway, and therefore declined to revisit its earlier order rejecting bail. Consequently, the bail application was dismissed.
Issues considered
- Whether bail should be granted to the petitioner in a murder, conspiracy and arms case after the trial has commenced and incriminating statements exist.
