STATE OF PUNJAB – Respondent
JUDGMENT :
SUMEET GOEL, J.
Present petition is the second attempt (though not disclosed by the petitioner) filed under Section 483 of BNSS 2023, seeking grant of regular bail to the petitioner, in case FIR No.435 dated 22.10.2025, registered under section 109, 191(3), 190, 351(2), 324(4), 115(2) of BNS, 2023, at Police Station City Faridkot, District Faridkot.
2. The case set up in the FIR in question (as set out by the petitioner in the present petition) is as follows:
“Statement of Kamaljit Singh I am doing mobile shop in the name of Gurpreet Telecom on 20.10.2025 I and my wife Taranpreet Kaur were coming back to our house after paying obisence at Gururdwara Sahib at about 6.30 pm Arshdeep Singh son of Krishan Singh, Kaka Singh son of Bhinder Singh @ Bhinda Halwi, Satnam Singh son of Amarjeet Singh @ Uggi, Sukhvir Singh @ Sukha son of Jagsir Singh @ Jabba and Bobby son of Kewal Singh residents of Dr. Ambedkar Nagar Kamiana Gate Faridkot were talking on the backside of our house by parking their motorcycle I asked them that the street is very narrow and please go in the open space and Satnam Singh told me that street is not of your father that you are stopping us from standing here.
Prolonged detention without trial infringes on the fundamental right to life and liberty, necessitating bail even for serious offences if trial delays are unjustifiable.
The court denied bail based on the gravity of allegations involving incitement to violence, potential witness tampering, and the need to ensure trial integrity.
Second or successive bail petitions are maintainable when substantial changes in circumstances occur; however, public safety and the gravity of the offence must be prioritized.
