THIS PETITION, COMING ON FOR ORDERS, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR JUSTICE S VISHWAJITH SHETTY ORAL ORDER 1. Accused nos.1 to 4 in Crime No.1/2025 registered by Ijoor Police Station, Ramanagara District, for the offences punishable under Sections 109, 3(5) of BNS, 2023, and Section 25 of the Arms Act, 1959, are before this Court under Section 483 of BNSS, 2023, seeking regular bail. 2. Heard the learned Counsel for the parties. 3. FIR in Crime No.1/2025 was registered by Ijoor Police Station, Ramanagara District, for the aforesaid offences against - 3 - NC: 2025:KHC:13124 CRL.P No. 3944 of 2025 the petitioners herein based on the first information dated 09.01.2025 received from Saiyan Khan, S/o Abeeb Khan. During the course of investigation, petitioners herein were arrested on 09.01.2025 and subsequently remanded to judicial custody. Their bail application filed before the jurisdictional Sessions Court in Crl. Misc. No.78/2025 was rejected on 04.03.2025. Therefore, they are before this Court. 4. Learned Counsel for the petitioners submits that there is a case and counter case in respect of the alleged incident that had taken place on 09.01.2025 and nobody has suffered any injury in the alleged incident. Petitioners are in custody from 09.01.2025. Accordingly, he prays to allow the petition. 5. Per contra, learned HCGP has opposed the petition. She submits that petitioners are persons with criminal antecedents and in the event, they are enlarged on bail, they are likely to involve in similar offences. Accordingly, she prays to dismiss the petition. 6. Perusal of the material on record would go to show that in respect of the alleged incident that had taken place on 09.01.2025, there is a case and counter case registered in - 4 - NC: 2025:KHC:13124 CRL.P No. 3944 of 2025 Crime No.1/2025 & Crime No.2/2025 by the very same police station. Undisputedly, nobody has suffered any injury in the alleged incident that had taken place on 09.01.2025. The allegation found in the first information in both the cases is that the accused persons attempted to assault the victims and the victims managed to escape. Petitioners herein are in custody from 09.01.2025. Major portion of the investigation is completed. Merely for the reason that the petitioners have got antecedents, their prayer for grant of regular bail cannot be rejected, if they have otherwise made out a case for grant of bail. Under the circumstances, I am of the opinion that petitioners prayer for grant of regular bail is required to be answered affirmatively. Accordingly, the following order: 7. The petition is allowed. The petitioners are directed to be enlarged on bail in Crime No.1/2025 registered by Ijoor Police Station, Ramanagara District, for the offences punishable under Sections 109, 3(5) of BNS, 2023, and Section 25 of the Arms Act, 1959, subject to the following conditions: a) Petitioners shall execute personal bond for a sum of Rs.1,00,000/- each with two sureties for the - 5 - NC: 2025:KHC:13124 CRL.P No. 3944 of 2025 likesum, to the satisfaction of the jurisdictional Court; b) The petitioners shall appear regularly on all the dates of hearing before the Trial Court unless the Trial Court exempts their appearance for valid reasons; c) The petitioners shall not directly or indirectly threaten or tamper with the prosecution witnesses; d) The petitioners shall not involve in similar offences in future; e) The petitioners shall not leave the jurisdiction of the Trial Court without permission of the said Court until the case registered against them is disposed off.
