Order No.02 Dated- 23.04.2025
Heard the parties.
The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Manjhiaon P.S. Case No.112 of 2024 registered for the offences punishable under sections 331(4)/305 of the B.N.S.,
2023.
The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner has committed theft of 105 pieces of mobile phones and on the basis of the confessional statement of the co-accused person-Krishna Kumar Chaudhary, 50 pieces of stolen mobile phones were recovered from the house of the petitioner; who is the brother-in- law of Krishna Kumar Chaudhary. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false. It is then submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 22.11.2024 as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 16 of the bail application. It is next submitted that the petitioner undertakes to cooperate with 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 abovenamed 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 A.C.J.M., Garhwa, in connection with Manjhiaon P.S. Case No.112 of 2024 with the condition that the petitioner will cooperate with the trial of the case and will furnish his mobile number and a copy of his Aadhar Card in the court below with the undertaking that he will not change his mobile number during the trial of the case.
