Order No.02 Dated- 29.04.2025
Heard the parties.
The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Sadar P.S. Case No.02 of 2025 registered for the offences punishable under sections 25(1-b)a/25(6)/25(8)/26/35 of Arms Act.
The learned Senior Advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner was in illegal possession of one country made pistol and 40 live cartridges. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and charge sheet has already been submitted. It is next submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in paragraph no.22 of the bail application and charge has been framed but no witnesses has been examined as yet. It is then submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 04.01.2025 as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 7 of the bail application. It is next submitted that the petitioner undertakes to cooperate with 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 abovenamed 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 C.J.M., Hazaribagh, in connection with Sadar P.S. Case No.02 of 2025 with the condition that the petitioner will cooperate with the trial of the case and will furnish his mobile number and a copy of his Aadhar Card in the court below with the undertaking that he will not change his mobile number during the trial of the case.
