Heard the parties.
The petitioner has been made accused in connection with Kadma P. S. case no. 96 of 2025 registered for the offences punishable under Section 310(2) of BNS, 2023.
Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner committed robbery and looted gold jewellery, watch and idols of God made up of gold and silver. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioner is false and without putting the petitioner on TIP, charge sheet has been submitted against him. It is further submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner has one criminal antecedent, in which he is on bail, as mentioned in paragraph 12 of the bail application. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been in jail custody since 11.10.2025, as mentioned in para 11 of this bail application. It is next submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner is ready and willing to cooperate with the trial of the case and undertakes not to annoy or disturb the informant or the other witnesses of the case in any manner during trial of the case. It is lastly submitted that the co-accused person with similar
allegation has already been granted bail by this Court in 21.04.2026 passed on B.A. No. 3317 of 2026. Hence, the petitioner may be admitted to bail.
Learned Addl. P.P. opposed the prayer for bail.
Considering the submissions of learned counsels and the facts as stated above, I am inclined to release the petitioner on bail. Hence, the court below is
directed to release the petitioner 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 Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Jamshedpur, in connection with Kadma P. S. case no. 96 of 2025, with the condition that the petitioner will not annoy or disturb the informant or the other witnesses of the case in any manner during trial of the case and will co-operate with the trial of the case and will furnish mobile number and photocopy of the Aadhar Card in the court below with an undertaking that he will not change the mobile number during the trial of the case.
