Order No.02 Dated- 13.06.2025
Heard the parties. The petitioners have moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Barhait P.S. Case No.135 of 2024 (G.R. Case No. 172 of 2025) registered for the offences punishable under sections 103(1)/238 of the B.N.S., 2023. The learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the allegation against the petitioners is that the petitioners have committed the murder of Ramjan Ansari. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and the petitioners are not named in the F.I.R. It is then submitted that admittedly the deceased was committing theft of the bullocks of the petitioners and the deceased first assaulted the petitioner no.1 with a knife but somehow the petitioner no.1 ducked it, but subsequently the petitioner no.2 also came and both of them assaulted the deceased with stone on his head, by which the deceased fell down and died. It is further submitted that at best, it is a case of culpable homicide not amounting to murder. It is next submitted that the petitioners have no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in paragraph no.18 of the bail application. It is then submitted that the petitioners have been in custody since
20.12.2024, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 16 of the bail application. It is next submitted that the petitioners undertake to cooperate with the trial of the case and further undertake that they 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 petitioners be admitted to bail. The learned Addl. P.P. and the learned counsel for the informant 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 petitioners on bail. Accordingly, the petitioners are directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.
25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned S.D.J.M., Sahibganj, in connection with Barhait P.S. Case No.135 of 2024 (G.R. Case No. 172 of 2025) with the condition that the petitioners will cooperate with the trial of the case and will furnish their mobile number and a copy of their Aadhar Card in the court below with the undertaking that they will not change their mobile number during the trial of the case, with further condition that they will not annoy or disturb the informant or the witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case.
