Neutral Citation No. ( 2025:JHHC:28759 ) IN THE HIGH COURT OF JHARKHAND AT RANCHI B.A. No. 8393 of 2025 Aslam Ray ... Petitioner Versus The State of Jharkhand … Opposite Party --- CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE RONGON MUKHOPADHYAY --- For the Petitioner : Mr. Birendra Kumar, Advocate For the State : Mrs. Shweta Singh, A.P.P. --- Order No. 02 Dated 18th September, 2025 Heard the learned counsel appearing for the respective parties. The petitioner was earlier granted bail in connection with S.T. No. 541 of 2019 (Mandar P.S. Case No. 39 of 2019) vide order dated 26.02.20220 passed in B.A. No. 1578 of 2020, subject to the condition that he shall remain physically present before the learned trial court on each and every date till the conclusion of the trial. Submission has been advanced by learned counsel for the petitioner that this is a case of misuse of privilege of bail and the petitioner is in custody since 30.06.2025. It appears that despite the order granting bail in B.A. No. 1578 of 2020, the petitioner did not appear before the learned trial court after his release even for a single date thereby blatantly flouting the condition which was imposed upon the petitioner while granting him bail. The petitioner has surrendered after almost three years and he is in custody only for a period of four months. The absence of the petitioner has hampered the trial and on consideration of the entire facets of the case, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. The same is hereby rejected at this stage. (RONGON MUKHOPADHYAY, J.) 18.09.2025 MK
