Heard the parties. The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with S.T. No. 18 of 2026 arising out of Kolebira P.S. Case No.61 of 2025 registered for the offences punishable under sections 319(2) of the B.N.S.2023, Section 11 of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act and under Sections 12(1)/12(2) of Jharkhand Bovine Animal Prohibition of Slaughter Act, 2005. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that this is the second journey of the petitioner with the prayer for regular bail. Earlier the prayer for regular bail of the petitioner was rejected vide order dated 28.01.2026 in B.A. No. 11637 of 2025. It is further submitted that the fresh ground is that in the meanwhile one witness has been examined as P.W.1, the copy of the deposition of which has been annexed as Annexure-1 of the supplementary affidavit. It is next submitted that in his deposition the P.W.1 has not stated anything to implicate the petitioner in this case. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false. It is then submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 30.10.2025, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 01 of the bail application. 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 Sessions Judge, Simdega, in connection with S.T. No. 18 of 2026 arising out of Kolebira P.S. Case No.61 of 2025 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.
