The petitioner is an accused in a case registered for the offence punishable under Section 309(4) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 and Section 27 of the Arms Act. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in this case and has not committed any offence as alleged. Initially, the FIR was lodged against the unknown miscreants. The petitioner has been implicated in this case on the basis of his alleged confessional statement recoded in Katkamdag P.S. Case No. 159/2025 as well as the confessional statement of co-accused Rahul Kumar. Except that, there is no material to connect the petitioner with the alleged offence. Similarly situated co-accused, namely, Manish Kumar & Pankaj Kumar have already been granted regular bail by a Bench of this Court vide orders dated 27.02.2026 & 10.03.2026 passed in B.A. Nos. 1051/2026 & 1304/2026 respectively. The petitioner is in judicial custody in connection with the present case since 13.10.2025. Hence, he may be given the privilege of regular bail. 4. Learned A.P.P opposes the petitioner’s prayer for bail. 5. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case, I am inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the above named petitioner is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail-bond of Rs.20,000/- (twenty thousand only) with two sureties of the like amount each to 2026:JHHC:6741 the satisfaction of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Hazaribagh in connection with Sadar P.S.
