JUSTICE AMBUJ NATH ----- For the Petitioner : Mr. Pran Pranay, Advocate For the State : Mr. Saket Kumar, A.P.P. --- 02/18.09.2025 Heard the parties. The petitioner has been made accused in connection with Bistupur P.S. Case No. 32 of 2025, corresponding to G.R. Case No.670 of 2025, for the offences registered under Sections 126(2), 118(1), 109, 3(5) of the B.N.S., 2023 and Section 27 of the Arms Act, pending in the court of learned C.J.M., Jamshedpur. On 19.02.2025 at about 1:00 P.M., the informant was returning home along with his brother namely Shivam Ghosh. When they reached near Raj Electrical, Dhatkidih, 10 persons on three motorcycles and one Scooty intercepted them. It is alleged that two unknown persons shot the brother of the informant, due to which he succumbed to his injuries. It was submitted that though the petitioner is named in the F.I.R., but there is no allegation of firing against him. It was further submitted that similarly situated co-accused person has been granted bail by this Court earlier. Learned A.P.P. has opposed the prayer for bail. In view of the submissions made above, 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 C.J.M., Jamshedpur, in connection with Bistupur P.S.
