JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Avnish Prakhar, Advocate For the State : Mr. Ajay Kr. Pathak, 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 Golmuri P.S. Case No.43 of 2026 registered for the offences punishable under sections 331(4)/ 305/ 326(g)/ 238/ 316(2)/61(2)/324(5)/3(5) of the B.N.S., 2023. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner in furtherance of common intention with the co-accused person has committed theft of Rs.56,000/- from the hotel of the informant and set fire to the hotel causing severe damage in furtherance of common intention with the co-accused manager of the hotel itself. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and the petitioner is involved in three other cases apart from this case. It is next submitted that the investigation of the case is going on. 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 against the petitioner, there is every chance of the petitioner absconding and tampering with evidence, if released on bail. It is lastly 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 evidence, if released on bail, this Court is of the considered view that this is not a fit case where the abovenamed petitioner be admitted to bail at this stage. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the abovenamed petitioner is rejected. (Anil Kumar Choudhary, J.) 12.06.2026 Gunjan-
