Heard the parties.
Petitioner has been made accused in connection with Narkopi P.S. Case No. 18 of 2024, for the offences registered under Sections 302, 201, 120B/34 of the I.P.C., pending in the Court of learned Civil Judge (Senior Division)-cum- Judicial Magistrate, First Class, Ranchi.
On 11.05.2024, son of the informant namely Sanjeet Gope went missing. On 15.05.2024 his dead body was recovered from a place near Karkari Railway line. Suspicion has been raised upon co-accused Lalita Devi that prior to the date of occurrence, she had threatened the deceased of dire consequences. As far as petitioner is concerned, suspicion has been raised against him that he along with Lalita Devi and other persons might have committed the murder of the deceased.
It was submitted that apart from suspicion there is no other material against the petitioner on record. It was submitted that co-accused Akib Ansari @ Akib as well as Lalit Devi have been granted bail by this Court and also by a Co-ordinate Bench of this Court. In view of the aforesaid facts, I am inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the petitioner, above named, is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 20,000/- (Rupees twenty thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each, to the satisfaction of learned Civil Judge (Senior Division)-cum- Judicial Magistrate, First Class, Ranchi, in connection with Narkopi P.S. Case No. 18 of 2024.
