Petitioner Versus The State of Jharkhand .... .... .... Opposite Party ------ CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. K.S. Nanda, Advocate For the State : Mr. Arup Kr. Dey, Addl.P.P ------ Order No.02 Dated- 16-06-2026 Heard the parties. The petitioner has been made accused in connection with S.T. Case No.219 of 2025 arising out of Dumri P.S. Case No.24 of 2025 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 103(1), 109, 117 & 3(5) of the BNS, 2023. This is the second journey of the petitioner with the prayer for regular bail, earlier the prayer for regular bail of the petitioner was rejected vide order dated 28.11.2025 in B.A. No.9438 of 2025. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the fresh ground is that in the meanwhile, three witnesses have been examined and they have categorically stated that Jitam Aind has committed the murder of Bifai Vishal Aind during the course of the quarrel between them and have not stated anything to implicate the petitioner in this case. It is next submitted that the allegation against the petitioner is false. It is then submitted that the petitioner has not committed any overt act to be implicated in this case. It is also submitted that the petitioner undertakes that he will co-operate with the trial of the case and will not annoy or disturb the informant or witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case. Hence it is lastly 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 above-named 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 Additional Sessions Judge-V, Gumla in connection with S.T. Case No.219 of 2025 arising out of Dumri P.S. Case No.24 of 2025 with the condition that the petitioner will co-operate with the trial of the case and will furnish his mobile number and photocopy of the Aadhar Card with an 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 informant or the witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case.
