Petarbar, District Bokaro. … Petitioner - Versus - 1. The State of Jharkhand 2. Bimal Mishra, son of late Baldeo Mishra, resident of Jainamore, Mishra Side, Jaridih, P.O. & P.S Jaridih, District Bokaro. … Opp. Parties ------ CORAM: - HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE AMBUJ NATH ----- For the Petitioner : Mr. P. S. Dayal, Advocate For the State : Mrs. Ruby Pandey, A.P.P. --- 03/14.11.2025 Heard the parties. The petitioner has been made accused in connection with S.T. Case No.170 of 2024 arising out of Petarbar P.S. Case No. 182 of 2023, corresponding to G.R. Case No.1328 of 2023, for the offences registered under Sections 304B/34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, pending in the court of learned Additional Sessions Judge-III, Bermo at Tenughat. Bail application of the petitioner was earlier rejected by this Court vide B.A. No.6285 of 2024 by order dated 11.12.2024. Petitioner happens to be the husband of the deceased Saloni, who died due to Asphyxia because of hanging in her matrimonial home. It was submitted that apart from ligature mark, no mark of violence was found on the person of the deceased. It was further submitted that petitioner is in custody since 20.11.2023. Report regarding the stage of trial earlier called for, has been received. It appears that out of 12 charge sheeted witnesses only 5 witnesses have been examined. Considering the period of custody and the fact that the trial is not likely to be concluded soon, 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 Additional Sessions Judge-III, Bermo at Tenughat, in connection with S.T. Case No.170 of 2024 arising out of Petarbar P.S. Case No. 182 of 2023, corresponding to G.R. Case No.1328 of 2023. (Ambuj Nath, J.) November 14, 2025 Jay/-
