JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Ashok Kumar, Advocate For the State : Ms. Sushma Aind, 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 Chandwa P.S. Case No.208 of 2023 (S.T. No. 131 of 2024) registered for the offences punishable under sections 364 of the Indian Penal Code. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner abducted the victim-Upendra Singh in order to commit his murder. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and admittedly the deceased was involved in theft of coal and as per the postmortem report, the deceased died due to asphyxia as a result of inhale of coal dust overlaying. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been implicated in this case only on the basis of suspicion. It is then submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 08.11.2023, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 01 of the bail application but no witness has been examined as yet. It is next submitted that the petitioner undertakes to cooperate with the trial of the case. It is lastly submitted that the co-accused person has already been admitted to bail by a coordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 06.01.2025 in B.A. No.10937 of 2024. 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 Sessions Judge, Latehar, in connection with Chandwa P.S. Case No.208 of 2023 (S.T. No. 131 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.
