MAHAMMAD @ MOHAMMED APPELLANT(S)
VERSUS
THE STATE OF KARNATAKA RESPONDENT(S)
O R D E R
1. Leave granted.
2. The appellant has been charged and convicted for the
offences punishable under Sections 120(B), 109, 341, 307
and 506 read with Section 149 of the Indian Penal Code,
1860 and Sections 25(1)(a), 25(1b) and 27(1)(a) of the
Arms Act, 1959.
3. We are inclined to set aside the impugned order by taking
into consideration the fact that the investigation is
over and chargesheet is filed, coupled with the period of
incarceration undergone. We also take note of the fact
that the charges are yet to be framed and, therefore, the
trial may take considerable time.
4. Accordingly, the impugned order stands set aside and the
appellant is granted bail, subject to the terms and
conditions that may be imposed by the Trial Court as it
deems fit for the aforesaid purpose.

5. The appeal is allowed accordingly.
