JUSTICE DEEPAK ROSHAN --------- For the Petitioner : M/s. Anurag Kashyap, Bhaswat Prakash, Supriya Dayal, Advocates For the Opp. Party : Mr. Rakesh Kumar Sinha, A.P.P. --------- 03/Dated:-12.03.2026 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 302, 307, 34 of the IPC and under Section 27 of the Arms Act, 1959 and cognizance has been taken under Sections 302, 307, 34 and 120(B) of IPC and under Section 24(1-B)a, 26/27/35 of the Arms Act. 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 charge-sheet has already been submitted and out of 18 charge-sheeted witnesses none of them has been examined till date. He further submits that no incriminating article has been recovered from the conscious possession of the petitioner and several co-accused persons have already been granted bail in B.A. Nos. 1945/2025, 1972/2025 and 8773/2025 and the petitioner for no offence has been languishing in custody since 20.05.2025; 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 facts of the case and looking to the allegations made against this petitioner coupled with the fact that out of 18 charge-sheeted witnesses, no witness has been examined as such there is no likelihood of early conclusion of trial and also that the co-accused persons have been granted bail and that 2026:JHHC:6684 2 the petitioner is in custody since 20.05.2025; 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 Sessions Judge-I, Jamshedpur in connection with Sitaramdera P.S. Case No. 09 of 2024 corresponding to S.T. Case No.380 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.
