Vill.- Machhargawan, P.O.- Champaran, P.S.- Yogapatti, Dist.- Betiya, Bihar. .......... Petitioner. -Versus- The State of Jharkhand .......... Opp. Party. ----- CORAM : HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH SHANKAR ----- For the Petitioner : Mrs. Abhijit Kumar, Advocate Mr. A. K. Sahani, Advocate For the State : Mr. Prabhu Dayal Agrawal, Spl.P.P. ----- Order No.02 Date: 13.02.2026 1. The petitioner is an accused in the case registered under Sections 328 & 379 of the Indian Penal Code. 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 in the first information report. Since, the F.I.R. was lodged against unknown persons and the petitioner did not know about his implication in the present case as a result of which, he could not appear before the learned Trial Court in time. However, as soon as the petitioner came to know about his implication in the present case, he surrendered before the concerned Court on 11.06.2025 and since then, he is in judicial custody. The Petitioner has got no criminal antecedent as has been stated in para- 16 of the present bail application. At least, considering the length of judicial custody and that the petitioner has got no criminal antecedent, he may be enlarged on regular bail. 3. Learned APP opposes the petitioner’s prayer for regular bail. 2026:JHHC:3969 2 4. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and considering that the petitioner is in judicial custody since 11.06.2025, I am inclined to enlarge him on bail. 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 the like amount, each, to the satisfaction of learned Sessions Judge, Koderma in connection with S.T. (Railway GRP) No. 03 of 2025 arising out of Koderma (Rail) P.S. Case No. 24 of 2011 with a condition that the petitioner shall remain physically present before the court below as and when required failing which the concerned trial court is at liberty to cancel his bail bond.
