Heard the parties.
The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Deoghar (Cyber) P.S. Case No.49 of 2025 registered for the offences punishable under sections 319(2), 318(4), 336(3), 338, 340(2) & 61(2) of the B.N.S., 2023 and under Section 66B, 66C, 66D & 84C of the Information Technology Act.
The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner was involved in commission of cybercrime and one mobile phone along with sim card has been recovered from the petitioner. It is further submitted that there is no money trail. It is then submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false. It is next submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in para-14 of the bail application. It is then submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 24.03.2025, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 16 of the bail application. It is further submitted that the petitioner undertakes to cooperate with the trial of the case. It is lastly submitted that the co-accused person has already been admitted to bail by this Court vide order dated 25.06.2025 in B.A. No. 5071 of 2025. 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-II-cum-Spl. Judge, Cyber Crime Case, Deoghar, in connection with Deoghar (Cyber) P.S. Case No.49 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.
