( 2025:JHHC:13351 ) IN THE HIGH COURT OF JHARKHAND AT RANCHI B.A. No. 3569 of 2025 ------ Jagarnath Oraon, aged about 28 years, s/o Charo Oraon, r/o Village-Khambha, P.O.-Guniya, P.S.-Ghaghra, Dist.-Gumla, Jharkhand … Petitioner Versus The State of Jharkhand … Opposite Party ------ CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Mohit Prakash, Advocate For the State : Mrs. Bandana Sinha, Addl. P.P. ------ Order No.02 Dated- 02.05.2025 Heard the parties. The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Ghaghra P.S. Case No.52 of 2024 registered for the offences punishable under sections 147/148/149/302/120B of the Indian Penal Code. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner being member of unlawful assembly; in prosecution of the common object of the assembly, committed murder of Sampati Oraon. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and are general and omnibus in nature. It is next submitted that in the postmortem report, there is only one injury on the head, which falsifies the case of the prosecution that several persons assaulted the deceased. It is next submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in paragraph no.13 of the bail application. It is then submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 10.03.2025, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 01 of the bail application. It is next submitted that the petitioner undertakes to cooperate with the trial of the case and further undertakes that he will not annoy or disturb the informant or the witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case. It is lastly submitted that the five of the co-accused persons has already been admitted to bail by coordinate Bench of this Court vide orders dated 13.12.2024, 29.11.2024, 04.04.2025 and 13.12.2024 in B.A. Nos.9124 of 2024, 9909 of 2024, 2653 of 2025 and 9124 of 2024 respectively. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be also 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 J.M. 1st Class, Gumla, in connection with Ghaghra P.S. Case No.52 of 2024 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, with further condition that he will not annoy or disturb the informant or the witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case.
