JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Ashok Kr. Singh, Advocate For the State : Mr. Sardhu Mahto, Addl. P.P. ------ Order No.03 Dated- 11.05.2026 Heard the parties. The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Barkagaon P.S. Case No.80 of 2023 registered for the offences punishable under sections 341/ 323/ 324/ 325/ 307/ 504/34 of the Indian Penal Code. 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 persons attempted to murder Dhaneshwar Mahto. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and the alleged injury is simple in nature caused by hard and blunt substance. It is then submitted that the petitioner has been in custody from 15.10.2023 to 23.02.2024 and thereafter was released on bail but after cognizance of the offence under Section 307 of the Indian Penal Code was taken into custody from 03.02.2026 and since then the petitioner has been in custody as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 12 of the bail application. It is also submitted that there is no allegation against the petitioner of misuse of bail during the period he was on bail from 24.02.2024 to 02.02.2026. 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 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) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned J.M. 1st Class, Hazaribagh, in connection with Barkagaon P.S. Case No.80 of 2023 with the condition that the petitioner will cooperate with the trial of the case and will furnish his mobile number and a copy of his Aadhar Card in the court below with the undertaking that he will not change his mobile number during the trial of the case, with further condition that he will not annoy or disturb the witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case.
