JUSTICE AMBUJ NATH ------ For the Petitioners : Mr. Mohit Prakash, Advocate Mr. Vishal Kumar Binay, Advocate For the Opp. Party : Mr. Suraj Deo Munda, A.P.P. Mr. Shree Prakash Jha, A.P.P. ----- 3/ 11.11.2025 Since, both these bail applications arise out of the same police case, they are heard together and are being disposed of by a common order. 2. Heard the parties. 3. Petitioners have been made accused in connection with Bishunpur P.S. Case No. 27 of 2024 for the offences registered under Sections 103(1) and 3(5) of the B.N.S., 2023, pending in the Court of Sri Prateek Raj, learned Judicial Magistrate, 1st Class, Gumla. 4. Petitioner Feku Nayak is the uncle, while petitioners Chhatarpal Nayak and Babulal Nayak are the cousin of the deceased. On 01.12.2024, all the petitioners dumped the dead body of the deceased in the house of the informant. Suspicion was raised against these petitioners that they have committed the murder of the deceased due to property dispute. 5. Statements of the witnesses have been recorded during investigation. They have stated that petitioner Feku Nayak was sleeping with the deceased, while petitioners Chhatarpal Nayak and Babulal Nayak were sleeping in the adjacent house. When they woke up, they found that the deceased was dead. Thereafter, the petitioners dumped the dead body of the deceased in the house of the informant. 6. From perusal of the postmortem report, it appears that the deceased had sustained several injuries on his person and death was caused due to hard and blunt substance. 7. Considering the nature of allegation, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioners on bail. Accordingly, their prayer for bail is rejected. (Ambuj Nath, J.) R.Kr. 11.11.2025
