( 2025:JHHC:17048 ) IN THE HIGH COURT OF JHARKHAND AT RANCHI B.A. No. 5089 of 2025 ------ Sahdev Munda @ Ranga, aged about 20 years, son of Late Joto Munda, Resident of Village –Grney, Poand, Post Adki, Police Station Adki, District –Khunti. … Petitioner Versus The State of Jharkhand … Opposite Party ------ CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Vikash Kumar, Advocate For the State : Mr. Rakesh Kr. Sinha, Addl. P.P. ------ Order No.02 Dated- 25.06.2025 Heard the parties. The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with S.T. Case No. 81 of 2025 arising out of Kuchai (Dalbhanga O.P.) P.S. Case No.26 of 2024 registered for the offences punishable under sections 103(1)/3(5) of the B.N.S., 2023 and under Section 25(1-b)(a)/27 of the Arms Act. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner in furtherance of common intention with the co-accused persons has committed the murder of Soma Singh Munda and Sejari Devi. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and the petitioner has been implicated in this case only on the basis of confessional statement of the co-accused persons. It is next submitted that charge sheet has been submitted and the cognizance of the offence has been taken but no witnesses has been examined so far. It is further submitted that the petitioner has not been put on Test Identification Parade. It is then submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in para –14 of the bail application. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 11.11.2024, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 12 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, Seraikella, in connection with S.T. Case No. 81 of 2025 arising out of Kuchai (Dalbhanga O.P.) P.S. Case No.26 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.
