What did the court decide?
Regular bail is denied: the offence alleged is serious and punishable with imprisonment for life upon conviction, there are cogent materials to prima facie show the applicant's involvement in a prime role, and during pendency of the present FIR he has been involved in three subsequent FIRs carrying grave and serious allegations (one under the Arms Act); these factors are sufficient for denying regular bail.
