JUSTICE DEEPAK ROSHAN --------- For the Petitioner : Mr. Ashok Kumar Sinha, Advocate For the Opp. Party : Mr. N.K.Ganjhu, A.P.P. --------- 03/Dated:-26.03.2026 1. Heard learned counsel for the parties. 2. The instant bail application has been preferred by the petitioner for grant of regular bail for the offences registered under Sections140(3) of B.N.S. and later on converted to under Section 80(2) of B.N.S. 2023. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has falsely been implicated in this case and he has committed no offence as alleged in the F.I.R. He further submits that the present case has been instituted against the petitioner solely on the ground that he is the husband of the deceased. It is contended that, apart from this relationship, there is no compliant or allegation of harassment or cruelty against the petitioner only because of the reason that the petitioner is the husband of the deceased and solely for that reason the present has been instituted against the petitioner and his father and there is no any compliant regarding any harassment or cruelty with the deceased. He further submits that the case has been instituted after delay of four days and the charge has already been framed. He lastly submits that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent and he is in custody since 06.05.2025; as such, the petitioner may be enlarged on bail. He submits that the petitioner is ready to abide by every condition as imposed by this court. 4. Learned A.P.P. opposes the prayer for bail of the petitioner. 5. Having regard to the fact that the charge has already been framed in this case, coupled with the fact that the case is pending for recording of evidence and even warrants have been issued to 2026:JHHC:8633 prosecution witness as such there is no likelihood of early conclusion of trial and the petitioner is in custody since 06.05.2025; therefore, I am inclined to enlarge this petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand only) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Koderma, in connection with Telaiya, P.S. Case No. 126 of 2025. 6. It is made clear that the petitioner shall appear on each and every date before the learned trial court and he shall not threaten any witnesses and shall co-operate in trial and if any adverse report will come against this petitioner, learned trial court shall be at liberty to cancel the bail of this petitioner.
