2026:JHHC:8635 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JHARKHAND AT RANCHI B.A. No. 12119 of 2025 ------ 1. Sahul Murmu 2. Ravi Lal Murmu .... .... …. Petitioners Versus The State of Jharkhand .... .... .... Opp. Party CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RONGON MUKHOPADHYAY For the Petitioners : Mr. Raj Nandan Chatterjee, Advocate For the State : Mr. Tarun Kumar, A.P.P. ------ Order No.04 / Dated : 26.03.2026 Heard Mr. Raj Nandan Chatterjee, learned counsel for the petitioners and learned A.P.P. The petitioners are accused in connection with Tisra P.S. Case No. 59 of 2025. A dacoity was committed in the attendance room and after tying the informant and others, the miscreants had damaged the biometric machine and the camera and had taken away the biometric machine. Submission has been advanced by the learned counsel for the petitioners that so far as the petitioner no.1 is concerned, he has been implicated on the confession of Naresh Murmu, who happens to be his brother. Learned counsel submits that the petitioner no.1 is in custody since 20.09.2025. So far as the petitioner no.2 is concerned, although there is recovery of some wires weighing 15 Kg., but the same was recovered from a bush. Learned A.P.P. has opposed the prayer for bail of the petitioners. It appears that so far as petitioner no.2 is concerned, on his disclosure, 15 Kg. of looted wires were recovered and on such consideration, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner no.2 and the same is hereby, rejected. However, considering the manner of implication of the petitioner no.1 that save and except the confessional statement, there are no other materials to connect the petitioner no.1 with the commission of dacoity, the petitioner no.1, above named, is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each, to the satisfaction of learned Judicial Magistrate, Dhanbad in connection with Tisra P.S. Case No. 59 of 2025. This application stands disposed of. (Rongon Mukhopadhyay, J.) Anit Uploaded 28.03.2026
