Petitioner Versus The State of Jharkhand …. Opp. Party ------ CORAM : HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE AMBUJ NATH ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Kripa Shankar Nanda, Advocate For the Opp. Party : Mr. Satish Prasad, A.P.P. ----- 3/ 27.11.2025 Heard the parties. 2. Petitioner has been made accused in connection with S.T. No. 243 of 2025 arising out of Bandgaon P.S. Case No. 14 of 2021 for the offences registered under Sections 302, 201, 120(B), 34 of the Indian Penal Code, pending in the Court of learned Addl. Sessions Judge-I, Chakradharpur (Chaibasa). 3. On 30.06.2021, son of the informant had gone to meet the call of nature outside his house and thereafter he went missing. Allegation has been levelled against the named accused persons including the petitioner that they might have committed the murder of the deceased. 4. From perusal of the case diary, it appears that statement of one Manoj Kumar has been recorded under Section 161 Cr.P.C., in which, he has stated that co-accused Jakrish Mundu and Aabil Mundu have confessed before the police that they had committed the murder of the deceased and, on their confession, a lathi, which was used in committing the murder, and the trouser of the deceased, were recovered. 5. Learned A.P.P. appearing on behalf of the State has submitted that the petitioner had absconded and later on, he was arrested and he also confessed his guilt. 6. Considering the nature of allegation, 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 Addl. Sessions Judge-I, Chakradharpur (Chaibasa), in connection with S.T. No. 243 of 2025 arising out of Bandgaon P.S. Case No. 14 of 2021. (Ambuj Nath, J.) R.Kr. 27.11.2025
