Petitioner Versus The State of Jharkhand .... .... .... Opposite Party ------ CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Awnish Shankar, Advocate For the State : Mr. Satish Prasad, Addl.P.P ------ Order No.02 Dated- 15-04-2025 Heard the parties. The petitioner has been made accused in connection with Dumri P.S. Case No.17 of 2024 registered under Sections 103 (1) of the B.N.S., 2023. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner committed murder of his mother when his mother tried to save his sister while being assaulted by the petitioner. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioner is false. It is next submitted that charge-sheet has been submitted against the petitioner. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 10.08.2024. Hence it is submitted that the petitioner be released on bail. Learned Addl. P.P. appearing for the State vehemently opposes the prayer for bail and submitted that there is direct allegation against the petitioner of committing the murder of his own mother and there is every chance of the petitioner absconding if released on bail and also there is chance of the petitioner tampering with the evidence. It is therefore submitted that the petitioner ought not be released on bail at this stage. Considering the serious nature of allegation against the petitioner of murdering his mother as well as the chance of his tampering with the evidence and absconding, if released on bail, this Court is of the considered view that this is not a fit case where the above-named petitioner be released on bail. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the above-named petitioner is rejected. (Anil Kumar Choudhary, J.) Animesh/
