Holding
The Court denied bail, holding that no fresh ground existed to merit its grant on the second application.
Summary
The petitioner, Piyush Kumar, was arrested in connection with PS 209 of 2024 for offences under IPC sections 147, 148, 149, 341, 323 and 307 and Section 27 of the Arms Act. He filed a regular bail application which was rejected on 14 May 2025, and he has remained in custody since 6 June 2024. On 9 January 2026 he made a second regular bail application seeking release.
