2026:JHHC:15473 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JHARKHAND AT RANCHI A.B.A. No. 2773 of 2026 Sachin Saurav Kujur @ Chotu ... Petitioner Versus The State of Jharkhand … Opposite Party --- CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE RONGON MUKHOPADHYAY For the Petitioner : Mr. Mohit Prakash, Advocate For the State : A.P.P. --- Order No. 02/ Dated: 26th May, 2026 1. Heard Mr. Mohit Prakash, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P. for the State. 2. The petitioner is apprehending his arrest in connection with Sisai P.S. Case No. 137 of 2025. 3. It has been alleged that the trucks of the informant and another person were stopped by some miscreants who drove away those trucks. The truck of the informant which had a GPS facility was recovered, but the amount of Rs. 8,00,000/- (eight lakhs) kept under the driver’s seat was found missing. 4. It has been submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner is an ad hoc teacher in a Government school. 5. It has been submitted that the petitioner has been implicated on the confession of co-accused Anand Kumar Ravidas. The petitioner does not have any criminal antecedent and in fact, one of the accused persons did not even take the name of the petitioner in his confessional statement. 6. Learned A.P.P. has opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner and has submitted that the CDR reveals that the petitioner was in constant touch with the other accused persons. 7. It, therefore, appears that save and except the CDR and the confessional statement of Anand Kumar Ravidas, there is no other material 2026:JHHC:15473 2 which would suggest that the petitioner was involved in commission of the offence as alleged. 8. Accordingly, the petitioner above named is directed to surrender before the learned Trial Court with a period of four weeks and pray for bail, and in that event, he shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of R. 10,000/- (Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each, to the satisfaction of learned Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Gumla in connection with Sisai P.S Case No. 137 of 2025, subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 482(2) of the Bhartiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. 9. This application stands allowed. (Rongon Mukhopadhyay, J.) Dated: 26th May, 2026 Suman/Aditi
