JUSTICE RAJESH SHANKAR For the Petitioner : Mr. Raj Nandan Chatterjee, Advocate For the State : Mr. Shree Prakash Jha, A.P.P. 02/13.02.2026 The petitioner is an accused for the offences punishable under Sections 331(4)/305 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the present case and has not committed any offence as alleged. Initially, the F.I.R. was lodged against unknown miscreant. In course of investigation, the petitioner has been implicated in the present case on the basis of alleged confessional statements of co-accused persons. There is no recovery of stolen articles from the possession of the petitioner. Though the petitioner has criminal antecedents, however so far as the present case is concerned, he has been implicated in the same without any cogent evidence. The petitioner is in judicial custody in connection with the present case since 06.11.2025. Hence, he may be given the privilege of regular bail. 3. Learned A.P.P. opposes the petitioner’s prayer for regular bail. 4. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and considering the materials available on record, I am inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. 2026:JHHC:4061 - 2 - 5. Accordingly, the petitioner above named is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand) with two sureties of like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Judicial Magistrate-1st Class, Nagar Untari, Garhwa in connection with Ramna P.S.
