JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Rahul Pandey, Advocate For the State : Mr. Sanjay Kr. Srivastava, Addl. P.P. ------ Order No.03 Dated- 11.03.2026 Heard the parties. The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with S.T. Case No.788 of 2025 (arising out of Vidhan Sabha P.S. Case No. 55 of 2025) registered for the offences punishable under sections 109/3(5) of the B.N.S., 2023 and under Section 27 of the Arms Act. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner in furtherance of common intention with the co-accused persons attempted to murder the police personnel by firing upon them. It is next submitted that the petitioner is also involved in four other cases. It is then submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false. It is further submitted that the petitioner undertakes to cooperate with the trial of the case. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be admitted to bail. The learned Addl. P.P. on the other hand vehemently opposes the prayer for bail and submits that the petitioner is a hardened criminal and is involved in dispossessing innocent persons from their ancestral property by muscle power in an organised manner by forming a crime syndicate, hence he is a threat to the law and order situation in the locality. It is next submitted by the learned Addl. P.P. that there is every chance of the petitioner absconding and tampering with the evidence if released on bail. Considering the serious nature of allegation against the petitioner of firing upon the police personnel to commit their murder as well as the criminal antecedent of the petitioner; as also the chance of his absconding and tampering with the evidence, if released on bail, this Court is not inclined to admit the above- named petitioner on bail at this stage. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the above-named petitioner is rejected at this stage. (Anil Kumar Choudhary, J.) 11.03.2026 Sonu/
