JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Pramod Kumar, Advocate For the State : Mr. Shiv Shankar Kumar, Addl. P.P. ------ Order No.02 Dated- 12.06.2026 Heard the parties. The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Kunda P.S. Case No.92 of 2025 corresponding to S.T. No. 97 of 2026 registered for the offences punishable under sections 111, 140(2), 304(2), 61(2) of the B.N.S., 2023 and under Section 25(9) of the Arms Act. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner in criminal conspiracy with the co-accused persons has kidnapped the nephew of the informant and demanded ransom of Rs.5,00,000/- at the point of pistol and looted the mobile phone, silver chain and cash of Rs.3,000/-. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false. It is next submitted that the petitioner is involved in six other cases as mentioned in the supplementary affidavit dated 09.06.2026. It is then submitted that charge sheet has already been submitted in this case. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be admitted to bail. The learned Addl. P.P. on the other hand vehemently opposes the prayer for bail and submits that keeping in view the serious nature of allegation of kidnapping the nephew of the informant for ransom, there is every chance of the petitioner absconding and tampering with the evidence if released on bail. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner ought not to be admitted to bail. Considering the serious nature of allegation against the petitioner and the chance of the petitioner absconding and tampering with the evidence if released on bail, this Court is not inclined to admit the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the prayer for regular bail of the above-named petitioner is rejected. (Anil Kumar Choudhary, J.) 12.06.2026 Sonu/
