JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Jitesh Kumar, Advocate For the State : Ms. Sushma Aind, Addl.P.P For the Informant : Mr. Ritesh Kumar, Advocate ------ Order No.02 Dated- 11-06-2026 Heard the parties. The petitioner has been made accused in connection with S.T. Case No.69 of 2026 arising out of Birsanagar P.S. Case No.93 of 2025 registered for the offences punishable under Section 126(2), 309(4) & 3(5) of the BNS, 2023 and under Section 27 of the Arms Act. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner has committed robbery and looted Rs.10,50,000/- at the point of pistol and mobile phone of the informant. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioner is false. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been identified in the T.I. Parade. It is then submitted that Rs.78,000/- of the looted amount has been recovered from the petitioner. It is further submitted that the petitioner undertakes that he will co-operate with the trial of the case. It is also submitted that the co-accused has already been granted bail by the co-ordinate bench of this Court in B.A. No.4926 of 2026 dated 04.06.2026. It is lastly submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 18.11.2025 as is evident from para-05 of the instant bail application, hence it is submitted that the petitioner be released on bail. Learned Addl. P.P. appearing for the State and the learned counsel for the informant on the other hand vehemently oppose the prayer for bail and submits that since the petitioner has been identified in the T.I. Parade, there is every chance of the petitioner absconding and tampering with evidence, if released on bail. It is therefore submitted that the petitioner ought not be released on bail. Considering the serious nature of allegation against the petitioner and the chance of the petitioner absconding or tampering with evidence, if released on bail, this Court is not inclined to admit the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the above-named petitioner is rejected at this stage. (Anil Kumar Choudhary, J.) 11/06/2026 Abhiraj/
