( 2025:JHHC:30051 ) IN THE HIGH COURT OF JHARKHAND AT RANCHI B.A. No. 8349 of 2025 ------ Bablu Kumar Gupta, aged about 35 years, son of Kanhai Saw @ Kanhai Prasad, resident of Village-Khuter, P.O. & P.S.- Kunda, Dist.-Chatra … Petitioner Versus The State of Jharkhand … Opposite Party ------ CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Rohan Mazumdar, Advocate For the State : Mrs. Lily Sahay, Addl. P.P. For the Informant : Mr. Manoj Kr. Choubey, Advocate : Mr. Avnish Kr. Pathak, Advocate ------ Order No.02 Dated- 25.09.2025 Heard the parties. The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Chatra Sadar P.S. Case No.244 of 2025 registered for the offences punishable under sections 108 of the B.N.S., 2023. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner has abetted the commission of suicide of the wife of the informant by sending the joint photograph to the Mukhiya of the village, who in turn send it to the informant. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false. It is further submitted that since it is the admitted case of the informant that the deceased wife of the informant was voluntarily having intimacy with the petitioner, there is no rhyme or reason for the petitioner to abet her suicide; because there is no allegation that the petitioner was having any ill will with the deceased. It is next submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in paragraph no.20 of the bail application. It is then submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 16.07.2025, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 21 of the bail application. It is next 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. and the learned counsel for the informant opposes the prayer for bail. Considering the submissions of the counsels and the fact as discussed above, I am inclined to enlarge the abovenamed 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 C.J.M., Chatra, in connection with Chatra Sadar P.S. Case No.244 of 2025 with the condition that the petitioner will cooperate with the trial of the case and will furnish his mobile number and a copy of his Aadhar Card in the court below with the 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.
