Order No.02 Dated- 28.11.2025
Heard the parties. The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with S.T. Case No. 121 of 2025 arising out of Sarath P.S. Case No.83 of 2024 corresponding to G.R. No. 57 of 2025 registered for the offences punishable under sections 64, 333, 76, 351, 352 of the B.N.S., 2023. This is the second journey of the petitioner with the prayer for regular bail and earlier the prayer for regular bail of the petitioner has been rejected vide order dated 10.06.2025 in B.A. No. 3919 of
2025. It is further submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the fresh ground is that so far two witnesses have been examined by the prosecution but both of them have not supported the case of the prosecution and have been declared hostile. It is next submitted that though charge has been framed on 11.07.2025, except the two witnesses, the prosecution has not produced any other witness without any plausible reason. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 17.12.2024, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 14 of the bail application. It is further 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. opposes the prayer for bail. Considering the submissions of the counsels and the fact as discussed above, I am inclined to enlarge the above-named 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 ADJ-I, Madhupur, Deoghar, in connection with S.T. Case No. 121 of 2025 arising out of Sarath P.S. Case No.83 of 2024 corresponding to G.R. No. 57 of 2025 with the condition that the petitioner will co-operate with the trial of the case and will furnish his mobile number and photocopy of the Aadhar Card with an 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.
