For the Petitioner : Mr. R.C.P.Sah , Adv. For the State : Mr. Suraj Deo Munda , Addl. PP.
02 / 03.07.2025 Heard the parties. The petitioner has been made accused in connection with Gamharia P.S. Case No.- 05 of 2024 ( S.T. No. 94 of 2024, M.C.R.A. No. 488 of 2025) instituted under Sections 304 B of I.P.C. and 3/4 of Dowry Prohibition Act.
Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that this is the second journey of the petitioner with the prayer for regular bail as the earlier prayer of the petitioner for regular bail was rejected but the fresh ground is that so far as the four witnesses have been examined including the informant and the father of the deceased. Drawing attention of the court to Annexure 3 series, which is the copy of the certified copy of the deposition of the four witnesses, it is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that the PW4 - father of the deceased has categorically stated in his deposition that on the basis of suspicion only, he has instituted the case against the petitioner and the deceased never complained about being assaulted and PW4- the father of the deceased has also not supported the case of the prosecution and was declared hostile. It is submitted that the allegation
against the petitioner is false. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been in jail custody since 13.02.2024 , as mentioned in para 1 of this bail application. It is next submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner is ready and willing to co-operate with the trial of the case and undertakes not to annoy or disturb the informant or the other witness of the case in any manner during trial of the case hence, the petitioner may be admitted on regular bail. Learned Addl. P.P. opposed the prayer for regular bail . Considering submissions of learned counsels and the facts as stated above, I am inclined to release the petitioner on bail. Hence, the court below is directed to release the petitioner 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 Additional Sessions Judge-1, I/C, Seraikella in connection with Gamharia P.S. Case No.- 05 of 2024 ( S.T. No. 94 of 2024, M.C.R.A. No. 488 of 2025) with the condition that the petitioner will not annoy or disturb the informant or the other witness of the case in any manner during trial of the case and will co-operate with the trial of the case and will furnish mobile phone number and photocopy of the Aadhar Card in the court below with an undertaking that he will not change the mobile phone number during the trial of the case.
