Mussaraf Resident of Chandpur, Post Office-Meharma, Police Station-Meharma, District-Godda (Jharkhand). ....Petitioner Versus The State of Jharkhand. ....Opp. Party --------- CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE DEEPAK ROSHAN --------- For the Petitioner : Mr. Anup Kr. Agrawal, Advocate For the Opp. Party : Ms. Bandana Sinha, 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 Sections 417 and 376 of I.P.C. and later the petitioner has been charged under Sections 376, 417, 342, 506 IPC, 1860. 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 there was a family dispute between the informant and the petitioner. He further submits that after the medical examination of the victim, the doctor has opined that he has not found any sign of forceful sexual violence and as per the report no injury was found and out of 8 charge-sheeted witnesses only 4 have been examined till date and the petitioner for no offence has been languishing in custody since 22.02.2025; 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 facts of the case and looking to the allegations made against this petitioner coupled with the fact that out of 8 charge-sheeted witnesses, only 4 witnesses have been examined as such there is no likelihood of early conclusion of trial and that the petitioner is in custody since 22.02.2025; 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 like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Additional Sessions Judge-II, Godda in connection with Meharma P.S. Case No. 139/2023 corresponding to G.R. No.395/2025 and Sessions Trial No.245/2025. 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.
