The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner was involved in fraudulent activities and cheating through online gaming and is an associate of the co-accused –Eklavya Kumar. There is also allegation against the petitioner that the petitioner committed forgery through fake G.S.T. Bills by opening fake firms. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false. It is then submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in para-12 of the bail application. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 13.02.2025, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 15 of the bail application. 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 witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case. It is lastly submitted that the co-accused person has already been admitted to bail by this Court vide order
dated 06.05.2025, in B.A. No. 3764 of 2025. 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, Hazaribagh, in connection with Katkamdag P.S. Case No.33 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 witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case.
