JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Ms. Priyanka Agrawal, Advocate For the State : Mrs. Snehlika Bhagat, Addl. P.P. ------ Order No.02 Dated- 17.04.2025 Heard the parties. The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Mandu (Kujju) P.S. Case No.197 of 2024 registered for the offences punishable under sections 103(1)/3(5) of the B.N.S., 2023 and under Section 27 of the Arms Act. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner in furtherance of common intention with the co-accused persons has committed the murder of Sanjay Bedia. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and the petitioner has been implicated in this case only on the basis of confessional statement of Subhash Bedia. It is then submitted that the only allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner concealed the weapon used in the crime but there is no allegation of the petitioner being involved in commission of murder of Subhash Bedia. It is further submitted that the co-accused person has already been admitted to bail by a coordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 19.03.2025 in B.A. No. 252 of 2025. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 26.08.2024, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 17 of the bail application. It is further submitted that the petitioner undertakes to cooperate with the trial of the case and further undertakes that he will not annoy or disturb the informant in any manner during 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 above-named 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 Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Ramgarh, in connection with Mandu (Kujju) P.S. Case No.197 of 2024 with the condition that the petitioner will co-operate with the trial of the case and will furnish his mobile number and photocopy of the Aadhar Card with an undertaking that he will not change his mobile number during the trial of the case, with further condition that he will not annoy or disturb the informant in any manner during the trial of the case.
