Ranka, Dist. Garhwa (Jharkhand). ....Petitioner Versus The State of Jharkhand ....Opp. Party --------- CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE DEEPAK ROSHAN --------- For the Petitioner : Mr. Syed Tafazzul Sajid, Advocate For the Opp. Party : Mr. Satish Kr. Keshri, A.P.P. --------- 02/ 02.04.2026 Heard learned counsel for the parties. 2. The instant bail application has been preferred by the petitioner for grant of regular bail in connection with Ranka P.S. Case No. 15 of 2026 for the offences registered under Sections 103(1), 3(5), 351(2)(3) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, pending in the court of Smt. Anulica Kumar, learned J.M. 1st Class, Garhwa. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner is innocent and has not committed any offence. Learned counsel further submits petitioner is not named in the FIR and his name surfaced during investigation. The petitioner was merely the owner of the tractor and the deceased was working as a labourer under him. He further submits that petitioner is languishing in custody since 31.01.2026; as such, the petitioner may be enlarged on bail. Learned counsel further submits that the petitioner is ready to abide by every condition imposed by this court. 4. Learned A.P.P. for the State opposes the prayer for bail of the petitioner and submits that the witnesses have supported the prosecution case and in the postmortem report it has come that deceased died due to several injuries caused by hard, heavy and blunt object. 5. Looking to the gravity of charge against the petitioner, I am not inclined to enlarge him on bail at this stage. However, he may renew his prayer for bail after four months. 6. Accordingly, the instant application stands dismissed. (Deepak Roshan, J.) 2nd April, 2026 kunal/- Uploaded on 04.04.2026
