    Case Summary: State of West Bengal v. Kutubuddin Gaji Decision: The Chief Judicial Magistrate, Howrah convicted Kutubuddin Gaji under Section 25(1)(a) of the Arms Act, sentencing him to three years rigorous imprisonment and ₹5,000 fine (one month simple imprisonment in default). He was acquitted under Section 27 of the Arms Act. The court later granted bail pending appeal with ₹10,000 bond and two sureties of ₹5,000 each. Key Reasoning: The court balanced victim's rights against the accused's right to liberty, considering he is the sole earning family member and lengthy detention would harm dependents, while emphasizing that lenient sentencing would undermine public confidence in the justice system.
