Holding
The Court denied regular bail, stating it was not inclined to enlarge bail for the petitioners.
Summary
The petitioners, Bobby Deol Kumar and Chhotu Kumar, were arrested in connection with a case under sections 25(1‑B)(a), 26 and 35 of the Arms Act after a search allegedly recovered two country‑made pistols, a revolver and three live cartridges from their possession. They filed an application for regular bail, contending that no incriminating article was actually recovered from them, that they were falsely implicated, and that they have no prior criminal record, having been in custody since 25‑10‑2025. The State opposed the bail on the basis of the alleged recovery of firearms and ammunition. After hearing both sides, the Court held that the seriousness of the alleged arms possession warranted denial of bail and refused to enlarge the petitioners on bail. However, the Court allowed the petitioners liberty to renew their bail prayer after six months.
Issues considered
- Whether regular bail should be granted to the accused under sections 25(1‑B)(a), 26 and 35 of the Arms Act where firearms and live cartridges have been allegedly recovered from their possession.
