JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioners : Mr. Ashim Kr. Sahani, Advocate For the State : Mr. P.K. Chatterjee, Spl. P.P. ------ Order No.02 Dated- 10.06.2026 Heard the parties. The petitioners have moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Bano P.S. Case No.16 of 2026 registered for the offences punishable under sections 317(5)/3(5) of the B.N.S., 2023, Section 11(D)(F)/12(1)(2)(3) of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, Section 12(2)/12(3)/14(1)/14(1A) of Jharkhand Bovine Animal (Prohibition of Slaughter) Act and under Section 75/79 of Juvenile Justice Act. The learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the allegation against the petitioners is that the petitioner no.1 was illegally transporting bovine animals involving the minor children for looting and delivery of bovine animals from Girdha to Ghat Bazar and the petitioner no.2 was aiding the petitioner no.1 in the said illegal activity. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioners are all false. It is then submitted that the petitioners have been in custody since 01.05.2026, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 01 of the bail application. It is next submitted that the petitioners undertake to cooperate with the trial of the case and further undertake that they will not annoy or disturb the witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioners be admitted to bail. The learned Spl. P.P. opposes the prayer for bail. Considering the submissions of the counsels and the fact as discussed above, I am inclined to enlarge the abovenamed petitioners on bail. Accordingly, the petitioners are directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned S.D.J.M., Simdega, in connection with Bano P.S. Case No.16 of 2026 with the condition that the petitioners will cooperate with the trial of the case and will furnish their mobile numbers and a copy of their Aadhar Cards in the court below with the undertaking that they will not change their mobile numbers during the trial of the case, with further condition that they will not annoy or disturb the witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case.
