Lukas Horo, S/o Charku Horo, R/o Village-Kathkumari Bartoli, PO & PS- Lapung, District-Ranchi
… … Petitioner Versus The State of Jharkhand
… … Opposite Party
CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH SHANKAR -----
For the Petitioner
: Mr. K.S. Nanda, Advocate
For the State
: Mr. Anup Pawan Topno, A.P.P. -----
02/13.02.2026 Heard learned counsel for the parties.
The petitioner is an accused for the offence punishable under Sections 25(1-B)a/26/35 of the Arms Act.
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 F.I.R. Even as per the written report, there is no recovery from the possession of the petitioner. Though the petitioner has criminal antecedent, however, the police has not collected any cogent material to connect him with the present case. The petitioner is in judicial custody in connection with the present case since 26.09.2025 and hence, he may be given the privilege of regular bail.
Learned A.P.P. opposes the petitioner’s prayer for bail.
Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, I am inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. 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 the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Ranchi in connection with Dhurwa (Hatia) P.S. Case No. 255 of 2025.
