JUSTICE AMBUJ NATH ----- For the Petitioner : Md. Shadab Ansari, Advocate For the State : Mr. Anup Pawan Topno, A.P.P. --- 02/07.11.2025 Heard the parties. The petitioner has been made an accused in connection with S.T. Case No.448 of 2023 arising out of Barkagaon P.S. Case No. 138 of 2023, for the offences registered under Sections 302/307/394/457 of the IPC, pending in the court of learned Additional Sessions Judge-X, Hazaribagh. Bail application of the petitioner was earlier rejected by this Court vide B.A. No.6489 of 2024 by order dated 28.10.2024. On 19.04.2023, the petitioner and two unknown persons entered into the house of the informant to commit robbery. On knife point, the petitioner looted several articles. During the course of robbery, mother of the informant was murdered. It was submitted that the informant has not sustained any injury. It was further submitted that the informant has himself killed his mother in order to get service after her death. It was further submitted that two witnesses have been examined, who have not supported the prosecution case. It was also submitted that there is no confession of the petitioner, nor any weapon has been recovered. From perusal of the F.I.R., it appears that the statement of the informant was recorded in hospital which signifies that he had sustained injury. The petitioner is named accused in the F.I.R. and mother of the informant was murdered during the course of robbery. On specific query, whether there is any documentary evidence to the effect or any witnesses has stated that the informant had murdered his mother to get job against her death, it was submitted that it is only submission made on behalf of the petitioner. -2- Considering the nature of allegation, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, his prayer for bail stands rejected. Learned trial court shall take all possible steps to secure the attendance of witnesses and dispose this case at the earliest.
