Order No:-07 Dated:-19-09-2025
Heard the parties. The petitioner has been made accused in connection with Argora P.S. Case No.286 of 2022 registered under Sections 420, 406, 467, 468, 471/34 of the Indian Penal Code. Learned senior counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner entered into an agreement for sale with the informant for selling a piece of land at Haridwar in the State of Uttarakhand. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioner is false. It is next submitted that the informant paid Rs.1,05,000,00/- (Rupees one crore five lakhs) to the co-accused who introduced the petitioner to the informant, but the petitioner and the co-accused switched off their mobile phones and were not available even in the address furnished and also threatened the informant of dire consequences. It is next submitted that the petitioner is suffering from paralysis in half of his body and other related neuro medical issues and requires immediate checkup from Multi super specialty Hospital. It is next submitted that the petitioner was admitted in RIMS Ranchi in connection with his illness while being in jail
custody. It is next submitted that charge has not yet been framed in this case and the case is running for supply of police papers for several dates. It is next submitted that though the petitioner was enlarged on bail provisionally, but he could not avail the same because of his ailments. It is then submitted that the petitioner undertakes that he will co-operate with the trial of the case and will not tamper with the evidence. It is lastly submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 13.08.2024 as is evident from para-01 of the instant bail application. Hence it is submitted that the petitioner be released on bail. Learned P.P. appearing for the State and the learned counsel for the opposite party no.2 opposes the prayer for bail and submits that since the petitioner is also involved in 10 other cases, there is every chance of the petitioner absconding and tampering with evidence, if released on bail, hence, it is submitted that the bail of the petitioner ought not be allowed.
Considering the facts that the offences are triable by Magistrate and the petitioner in custody for more than one year and that he is suffering from several ailments and also he was under treatment in RIMS, Ranchi, so, this Court is of the considered view that the petitioner be admitted to bail. Accordingly, the above-named petitioner is directed to be enlarged on bail on depositing Cash Security of Rs.1,00,000/- (Rupees One Lakh) and on furnishing bail bond of Rs.1,00,000/- (Rupees One Lakh) with two solvent sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned J.M.F.C., Ranchi in connection with Argora P.S. Case No.286 of 2022 with the condition that he will co-operate with the trial of the case and furnish his mobile number and photocopy of the Aadhar Card in the court below with an undertaking that he will not change his mobile number during the trial of the case and will not tamper with the evidence.
