Heard the parties. The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with S.T. No. 216 of 2014 (A) arising out of Murhu P.S. Case No.76 of 2012 registered for the offences punishable under sections 147/148/149/307/341/323 of the Indian Penal Code and under Section 27 of Arms Act. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner was member of unlawful assembly and in prosecution of the common object of the assembly attempted to murder Parti Nag by firing upon her causing injury to Parti Nag- the daughter of the informant. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and the petitioner is not named in the FIR. It is next submitted that without putting him on T.I. Parade as has been mentioned in paragraph no.04 of the supplementary affidavit dated 05.05.2026, charge sheet has been submitted against the petitioner but no witness has been examined as yet. It is then submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 18.07.2025, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 11 of the bail application. It is next submitted that the petitioner undertakes to cooperate with the trial of the case and further undertakes that he 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 petitioner be admitted to bail. The learned Addl. 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 petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to be released 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 A.S.J.-III, Khunti, in connection with S.T. No. 216 of 2014 (A) arising out of Murhu P.S. Case No.76 of 2012with the condition that the petitioner will cooperate with the trial of the case and will furnish his mobile number and a copy of his Aadhar Card in the court below with the undertaking that he will not change his mobile number during the trial of the case, with further condition that he will not annoy or disturb the witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case.
