P.P. ------ HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ Order No:- 02, Dated:- 12th May, 2026 Heard the parties. The petitioner has moved before this Court for grant of bail in connection with Nawalshahi P.S. Case No. 78 of 2025, corresponding to G.R. Case No. 78 of 2026, registered for the offences punishable under sections 103(1) of the B.N.S., 2023. 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 person, namely, Rupak Singh, has committed murder of Kailash Das. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been implicated in this case only on the basis of suspicion and confessional statement. It is next submitted that in Para No. 35 of the Case Diary, where the informant has categorically stated that at the time of lodging of the F.I.R., because of the death of his father, his mental condition was like a mad person and he was not in a position to tell or understand anything and without going through the contents of the written report prepared by the Police Officer of the Police Station and without thinking about the same, he put his signature there. It is further submitted that his father was having warm relations with the co- accused, namely, Rupak Singh. Further, there was no quarrel with Rupak Singh and the informant as well as family members. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 12 of the bail application. It is then submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 02.11.2025, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 14 of the bail application though charge-sheet has already been submitted. It is next 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 or the witnesses of the case 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 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) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Judicial Magistrate – 1st Class, Koderma, in connection with Nawalshahi P.S.
