Order No.02 Dated- 10-07-2025
Heard the parties. The petitioner has been made accused in connection with Anandpur P. S. case no. 03 of 2025 instituted under Section 103 (1), 238, 61 (2) of BNS, 2023.
Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner in criminal conspiracy with the co-accused persons, has committed murder of Motilal Angaria and caused dis-appearance of the evidence of murder. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioner is false and there is no eye witness to the occurrence. It is further submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent, as mentioned in paragraph-17 of the bail application and he has been implicated in this case only on the basis of suspicion. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been in jail custody since 17.02.2025, as mentioned in para-18 of this bail application. It is next submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner is ready and willing to cooperate 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 to 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 ACJM, Chakradharpur (Chaibasa) in connection with Anandpur P. S. case no. 03 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.
