Heard the parties. The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Goilkera P.S. Case No.07 of 2025 registered for the offences punishable under sections 103(1)/238 of the B.N.S., 2023. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner has committed the murder of Bangra Barjo and caused disappearance of evidence of the murder by hiding the dead body. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and till date the dead body of the deceased has not yet been recovered. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been implicated in this case on the basis of recovery of three pieces of bones, long black hari, blood stained white clothes, one Hawai chappal and two feet long piece of wood but there is no forensic report in the record to suggest that the articles seized is having any link with the deceased. It is then submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in para –11 of the bail application. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 11.02.2025, 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 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 A.C.J.M., Chakardharpur (Chaibasa), in connection with Goilkera P.S. Case No.07 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.
