Neutral Citation No. ( 2026:JHHC:1008 ) IN THE HIGH COURT OF JHARKHAND AT RANCHI B.A. No. 10731 of 2025 --------- Md. Sikandar Khan, S/o Md. Sahid Khan, R/o Ward No. 33, P.O. & P.S. Kunda, District- Deoghar … Petitioner Versus The State of Jharkhand … Opposite Party --------- CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RONGON MUKHOPADHYAY --------- For the Petitioner : Mr. Ankit Kumar, Advocate For the State : Mr. Fahad Allam, A.P.P. For the Informant : Mr. Sabyasanchi, Advocate --------- 02/15.01.2026 Heard Mr. Ankit Kumar, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P. assisted by Mr. Sabyasanchi, learned counsel appearing for the informant. The prayer for bail of the petitioner has earlier been rejected on five occasions. Submission has been advanced by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner is in custody for more than five years. Learned A.P.P. as well as Mr. Sabyasanchi, learned counsel for the informant have opposed the prayer for bail of the petitioner. Learned counsel for the informant has submitted that all the prosecution witnesses have been examined. It has further been submitted that the evidence of P.W.6 categorically reveals that it was the present petitioner who had shot at the deceased. Regard being had to the stage of the trial and the fact that specific allegation has been levelled against the petitioner of committing the murder as has been noted in the earlier order of rejection of the prayer for bail of the petitioner, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. The same stands rejected once again. (Rongon Mukhopadhyay, J.) Dated, the 15th January, 2026 A. Sanga/- Uploaded on 19.01.2026
