Holding
The Court declined to grant regular bail to the petitioner.
Summary
The petitioner, Vishwajeet Kumar Yadav, is in judicial custody for alleged violations of Sections 25(1‑b)a and 26 of the Arms Act, involving a loaded pistol and cartridges recovered from his possession. He contends that he has been falsely implicated and that no incriminating articles were found in his conscious possession. He has been in custody since 22‑06‑2024 and previously sought regular bail, which was denied by the Patna High Court on 02‑07‑2025 (Cr. Misc. No. 15717 of 2025). The petitioner filed a fresh bail application, arguing the same grounds. The Court examined the submissions and found no new material or fresh ground to merit a change in its earlier view. Consequently, the Court rejected the petitioner's prayer for regular bail once again.
Issues considered
- Whether the petitioner is entitled to regular bail for offences under Sections 25(1‑b)a and 26 of the Arms Act in view of the facts and the absence of fresh ground.
