Heard the parties.
The petitioners have moved before this Court for grant of bail in connection with Chutia P.S. Case No. 282 of 2024, registered for the offences punishable under sections 303(2)/ 317(2)/ 317(4)/ 317(5)/ 112 of the B.N.S., 2023.
The Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the allegation against the petitioners is that the petitioners have committed theft of aluminum wire from the transformer and also dishonestly received the stolen property. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioners are all false and stolen aluminum wire has already been recovered. It is then submitted that the petitioners have been implicated in this case only on the basis of the confessional statement of the co-accused persons. It is further submitted that the petitioners have been in custody since 28.08.2025, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 01 of the bail application. It is then submitted that the petitioners undertake to cooperate with the trial of the case and further undertake that they will not annoy or disturb the informant or the witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case. It is lastly submitted
that the co-accused person with similar allegation has already been admitted to bail by this Court vide order dated 01.05.2026 in B.A. No. 3690 of 2026. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioners be admitted to bail.
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 petitioners on bail. Accordingly, the petitioners are 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 Additional Judicial Commissioner – XVII, Ranchi, in connection with Chutia P.S. Case No.282 of 2024 with the condition that the petitioners will cooperate with the trial of the case and will furnish their mobile numbers and a copy of their Aadhar Cards in the court below with the undertaking that they will not change their mobile numbers during the trial of the case, with further condition that they will not annoy or disturb the informant or the witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case.
