JUSTICE PRADEEP KUMAR SRIVASTAVA For the Petitioner : Mr. Anjani Kumar, Adv. For the State : Mr. Shree Prakash Jha, A.P.P. Order No.03/Dated- 03.01.2025 Heard learned counsel for the parties. 2. The petitioner has been made an accused in this case in connection with S.T. Case No. 195 of 2023 arising out Manjhari P.S. Case No. 35 of 2022 registered for offences punishable under Sections 365/34 of the I.P.C. and thereafter charges were framed under Sections 364, 302, 201, 120B, 367, 368 and 371 of the I.P.C., which is pending in the Court of Learned Addl. Sessions Judge-I, West Singhbhum at Chaibasa. 3. As per FIR, allegation is that on 26.05.2022 at about 10:40 AM, the informant received the information on his mobile phone that in village Sidma, three persons of his family were kidnapped. Thereafter, he along with police force reached at place of occurrence and found that present petitioner (Vikash Behra) who has a land dispute with the informant has kidnaped the family members of the informant. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that petitioner is innocent and he has falsely been implicated in this case only on the basis of suspicion and bad village politics. The entire prosecution case is false and fabricated. The petitioner is languishing in jail since 07.06.2023. Petitioner undertakes to co- operate in the trial of the case by remaining physically present as and when required and shall not indulge in any manner in tampering with the prosecution evidences or influencing the witnesses of prosecution, hence, the petitioner may be enlarged on bail. 5. Learned Addl. P.P. has opposed the prayer for bail of the petitioner. 6. Earlier the regular bail application of the appellants has already been rejected on merits and there are no fresh grounds raised in this application. The status report was also called for from the concerned court which shows that all the witnesses have been examined. Under the circumstances, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail, which stands rejected. 7. The learned Trial Court is directed to expedite and conclude the trial of this case within two months otherwise petitioner shall be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail.
