Petitioner Versus The State of Jharkhand …. Opp. Party CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE NAVNEET KUMAR For the Petitioner : Mr. Altamash Khan, Advocate For the State : Mr. Arup Kr. Dey, APP ----- 4/15.01.2025 Heard learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and learned APP appearing for the State. 2. The petitioner is an accused in connection with Lohardaga P.S. Case No.142 of 2024, registered on 10.07.2024 under Sections 317(5)/3(5) of BNS, 2023 and u/s 25(1-b)a/26/35 of Arms Act. 3. It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioner that the petitioner has been caught from the spot along with two stolen motorcycles without having any valid paper and also from the possession of this petitioner, one country made pistol and two live cartridges had also been recovered, apart from the mobiles. 4. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that he is in jail since the 10.07.2024 and the charge-sheet in this case has been submitted. 5. It is further submitted that in a case registered earlier against this petitioner in connection with Lohardaga P.S. Case No.31 of 2024, he is on bail and since the charge-sheet in this case has been submitted, and therefore possibility of tampering with the evidence is very remote and therefore, it is prayed to enlarge the petitioner on bail. 6. On the other hand, learned APP appearing on behalf of the State vehemently opposed the prayer of bail stating that the petitioner has been caught red handed along with one motorcycle without any number plate and also with the country made pistol and two live cartridges and mobile phones and he is a man of criminal history, and therefore he does not deserve to be enlarged on bail. 7. Having heard learned counsels for the parties, perused the record of this case. 8. Having taken into consideration the persuasive submissions advanced on behalf of the petitioner, it is found just and fair to enlarge the petitioner on bail. 9. Accordingly, petitioner above named is directed to be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand only) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the court of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Lohardaga, in connection with Lohardaga P.S. Case No.142 of 2024, subject to the condition that the petitioner will appear before the learned court below on each and every date as and when required by them, failing which, appropriate order shall be passed by the learned court below for the cancellation of bail in accordance with law.
