Holding
The court held that the applicant had established a prima facie case for bail and therefore granted bail.
Summary
The applicant, Kallu alias Kalua, applied for bail in a criminal case (Crime No. 389 of 2026) involving alleged violations of Sections 109(1), 3(5) of the B.N.S. and Sections 3, 25, 27 of the Arms Act, arising from a police firing incident at Bhojipura, Bareilly. The counsel for the applicant and the State presented their arguments, and the court examined the material on record, including the applicant's criminal history. The court noted that the case involved a police firing with no injuries and, without delving into the merits, found that the applicant had made out a prima facie case for bail. Consequently, the bail application was granted subject to a personal bond, two sureties, and conditions not to tamper with evidence or intimidate witnesses. The order emphasized that breach of conditions would lead to cancellation of bail and would not affect the trial on merits.
