CORAM :
SRI ANANDA SEN, J.
------ For the Petitioner(s) : Mr. Amrit Kumar Singh, Advocate
For the State : Mr. Abhay Kr. Tiwari, AddI. P.P.
…...... 02/26.02.2026: This bail application has been filed under Sections 483 & 484 of BNSS, 2023 wherein, prayer has been made for grant of bail as she is in custody for allegedly committing offence punishable under Sections 302 of IPC.
2. Heard, learned counsel for the petitioner learned counsel for the State and have also gone through the impugned order.
3. Learned AddI. P.P. opposes the prayer for bail.
4. The application of the petitioner was rejected twice earlier by a Bench of this Court. On the last occasion, liberty was granted to the petitioner to renew her prayer for bail after nine months, if the trial is not concluded. Nine month is not yet over. Further, the trial is in progress and six out of eight chargesheet witness have been examined.
5. Considering the aforesaid fact, I am not inclined to grant privilege of bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner in connection with S.T. Case No.656 of 2024, arises out of Lapung P.S. Case No.20 of 2024, pending in the Court of learned Additional Judicial Commissioner-XV, at Ranchi stands rejected.
6. The Trial Court is expected to conclude the trial within a period of six months after the receipt of a copy of this order.
