JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mrs. Vani Kumari, Advocate : Mr. Aniket Ranjan, Advocate For the State : Mrs. Snehlika Bhagat, Addl. P.P. ------ Order No.02 Dated- 17.06.2025 Heard the parties. The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Goilkera P.S. Case No.58 of 2023, S.T. Case No. 95 of 2024 registered for the offences punishable under sections 302/201/34 of the B.N.S., 2023. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that this is the second journey of the petitioner with the prayer for bail. It is next submitted that the prayer for bail of the petitioner was earlier rejected by a Co-ordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 09.09.2024, in B.A. No. 5137 of 2024. It is further submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner was involved in destroying the evidence of murder by along with the co-accused persons, hiding the dead body of the deceased, by throwing the same in the Dam. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and the fresh ground is that in the meanwhile three witnesses have been examined and none of them have supported the case of the prosecution and have been declared hostile. It is next submitted that there is no allegation against the petitioner of committing murder and the offence punishable under Section 201 of the Indian Penal Code is bailable in nature. It is then submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in para –10 of the bail application. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 27.01.2024, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 01 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 Additional Sessions Judge-I, West Singhbhum at Chaibasa, in connection with Goilkera P.S. Case No.58 of 2023, S.T. Case No. 95 of 2024 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.
