( 2025:JHHC:12929 ) IN THE HIGH COURT OF JHARKHAND AT RANCHI B.A. No. 3177 of 2025 ------ Sukar Muni Devi @ Sukarmuni Devi, aged about 27 years, son of Babudas Manjhi, resident of village –Nawadih, P.O. & P.S. –Peterwar, District –Bokaro. … Petitioner Versus The State of Jharkhand … Opposite Party ------ CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Randhir Kumar, Advocate : Ms. Pinki Kumari, Advocate For the State : Mrs. Sanjay Kr. Srivastava, Addl. P.P. ------ Order No.02 Dated- 29.04.2025 Heard the parties. The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with S.T. Case No. 252 of 2024 arising out of Peterwar P.S. Case No.63 of 2024, corresponding to G.R. Case No. 395 of 2024 registered for the offences punishable under sections 302 of the Indian Penal Code. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner has committed murder of Dilip Besra. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and there is no eye- witness to the occurrence. It is then submitted that the petitioner has been implicated in this case only on the basis of her confessional statement made before one Basanti Devi but the said Basanti Devi has not been cited as a witness in the charge sheet. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 20.04.2024, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 15 of the bail application. It is then submitted that charge sheet has already been submitted and so far during the trial only two witnesses have been examined and they have stated of their knowledge that the dead body of Dilip Besra was lying in the house of the petitioner. It is next submitted that the petitioner is a female. It is further submitted that the petitioner undertakes to cooperate with the trial of the case and further undertakes that she will not annoy or disturb the informant in any manner during the trial of the case. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be admitted to bail. The learned Addl. P.P. opposes the prayer for bail. Considering the submissions of the counsels and the fact as discussed above, I am inclined to enlarge the above-named petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Additional Sessions Judge-I, Bermo at Tenughat, in connection with S.T. Case No. 252 of 2024 arising out of Peterwar P.S. Case No.63 of 2024, corresponding to G.R. Case No. 395 of 2024 with the condition that the petitioner will co- operate with the trial of the case and will furnish her mobile number and photocopy of the Aadhar Card with an undertaking that she will not change her mobile number during the trial of the case, with further condition that she will not annoy or disturb the informant in any manner during the trial of the case.
