Heard the parties.
The petitioner has been made accused in connection with Bengabad P.S. Case No. 114/2025 instituted under Section 115(2) / 126(2) / 117(2) / 109(1) / 351(1) /352/324(2)/304(2) / 3(5) of the B.N.S.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner in furtherance of the common intention with the co-accused persons, attempted to murder the son of the informant by means of spade. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioner is false and the petitioner and the informant are agnates and they are related to each other. It is further submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent, as mentioned in paragraph 20 of the bail application. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been in jail custody since 17.03.2026, as mentioned in para 20 of this bail application. It is next submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner is ready and willing to co- operate with the trial of the case and undertakes not to annoy or disturb the informant or the other witness of the
case informant or his family members in any manner during trial of the case, hence, the petitioner may be admitted to bail. Learned Addl. P.P. opposed the prayer for bail. Considering submissions of learned counsels and the facts as stated above, I am inclined to release the petitioner on bail. Hence, the court below is directed to release the petitioner on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate (C.J.M.), Giridih in connection with Bengabad P.S. Case No. 114/2025 with the condition that the petitioner will not annoy or disturb the informant or the other witness of the case informant or his family members in any manner during trial of the case and will co-operate with the trial of the case and will furnish mobile phone number and photocopy of the Aadhar Card in the court below with an undertaking that he will not change the mobile phone number during the trial of the case.
