JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Anil Kr. Keshri, Advocate For the State : Mr. Rakesh Kr. Sinha, Addl. P.P. ------ Order No.02 Dated- 06.05.2025 Heard the parties. The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Dasamfall P.S. Case No.20 of 2024 corresponding to G.R. Case No. 785 of 2025 registered for the offences punishable under sections 103(1)/238/3(5) of the B.N.S., 2023. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner in furtherance of common intention with the co-accused persons has committed the murder of Dharampal Munda and caused disappearance of the evidence of the murder by concealing the dead body in the forest. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and the deceased was having illicit relationship with the wife of the co-accused -Bisheshwar Lohra and the name of the petitioner has transpired in the confessional statement of the co- accused –Bisheshwar Lohra. It is next submitted that the petitioner is not named in the F.I.R. It is further submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in para-14 of the bail application. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 06.12.2024, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 6 of the bail application. It is then submitted that except the confessional statement of the co-accused –Bisheshwar Lohra, there is no material in the record to implicate the petitioner in this case. It is further 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. 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 Judicial Magistrate -1st Class, Ranchi, in connection with Dasamfall P.S. Case No.20 of 2024 corresponding to G.R. Case No. 785 of 2025 with the condition that the petitioner will co-operate with the trial of the case and will furnish his mobile number and photocopy of the Aadhar Card with an 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.
