Heard the parties.
The petitioner has been made accused in connection with Khelari P.S. Case No. 80 of 2023, for the offence registered under Sections 452/387/34 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 17 of the CLA Act, pending in the court of Sri Gautam Govinda, learned J.M.-XXXII, Ranchi. Bail application of the petitioner was earlier rejected by this Court vide B.A. No. 6337 of 2025 by order dated 04.08.2025. On 19.12.2023 at about 8:30 P.M, two unknown persons came to the worksite of the informant and to enforce the demand of rangdari, they threatened the labourers present there to stop work until the demand of rangdari was met. It was submitted that name of the petitioner has come in the confession of co-accused. It was further submitted that petitioner has remained in custody for about six months. It was further submitted that similarly situated co-accused has been granted bail by a Co-ordinate Bench of this Court. In view of the submissions made above, 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 Sri Gautam Govinda, learned J.M.-XXXII, Ranchi or his successor, in connection with Khelari P.S. Case No. 80 of 2023.
