Mangalhat, P.S. – Rajmahal, District –Sahibganj, Jharkhand. … Petitioner Versus The State of Jharkhand … Opposite Party ------ CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Gautam Kumar, Advocate For the State : Mr. Santosh Kr. Shukla, Addl. P.P. ------ Order No.02 Dated- 14.05.2026 Heard the parties. The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Rajmahal P.S. Case No.89 of 2026 registered for the offences punishable under sections 310(2)/311 of the B.N.S., 2023 and under Section 27 of the Arms Act. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner along with the co-accused persons committed dacoity and looted the bag of the informant in which gold jewelleries, cash of Rs.80,000/-, bank card and documents were kept by the informant. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false. It is next submitted that the petitioner is not named in the F.I.R. but he has not yet been put on Test Identification Parade as mentioned in para-10 of the bail application. It is then submitted that a compromise has been effected to between the petitioner and the victim and in this respect, the learned counsel for the petitioner draws attention of this court to annexure-2 at page nos. 23-24 of the brief, which is the copy of the certified copy of the joint compromise petition field by the parties in the court of Additional Sessions Judge-I, Rajmahal. It is then submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in para –13 of the bail application. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 26.03.2026, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 01 of the bail application. It is further 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 above-named 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 S.D.J.M., Rajmahal, in connection with Rajmahal P.S. Case No.89 of 2026 with the condition that the petitioner will co-operate with the trial of the case and will furnish his mobile number and photocopy of the Aadhar Card with an 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 informant or the witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case.
