The main allegation of the prosecution is that the applicant was also indulged in illegal business of sale of illegal cartridges. Main substratum of arguments of learned counsel for the applicant is that co-accused Sharib, Haidar Khan and Uvaid Khan, who were apprehended by the police and from their possession recovery has been made, have been granted bail vide orders dated 19.06.2025, 20.06.2025 and 25.06.2025 passed in Criminal Misc.

The applicant is languishing in jail since 19.05.2025 and in case, the applicant is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail and cooperate with the trial. Per contra, learned A.G.A. for the State opposed the prayer for bail of the applicant but did not dispute the above factual aspect of the matter as argued on behalf of the applicant.
