Petitioners Versus The State of Jharkhand .... .... .... Opposite Party ------ CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioners : Mr. Ashok Kr. Singh, Advocate For the State : Mr. Azeemuddin, Addl.P.P ------ Order No.02 Dated- 18-06-2026 Heard the parties. The petitioners have moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Saria P.S. Case No.72 of 2026 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 326(G), 324(5), 333, 61(2) and 3(5) of the B.N.S., 2023. The learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the allegation against the petitioners is that the petitioners poured petrol and set fire to the house of the informant on the allegation that the informant committed dowry death of his wife Bindiya Kumari and they also broke the frontal wall of the house causing extensive damage to the house of the informant as well as his elder brother. It is next submitted that the allegations against the petitioners are all false. It is then submitted that from the side of the petitioners, the grandfather of the petitioners lodged Sariya P.S. Case No.71 of 2026 against the informant and his family members and as a counterblast to save their skin, this false case has been foisted against the petitioners. It is further submitted that the petitioners undertake to cooperate with the trial of the case and further undertake that they will not annoy or disturb the informant/victim or the witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case. It is next submitted that the petitioners have no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in para-15 of this bail application. It is lastly submitted that the petitioners have been in custody since 16.04.2026 as is evident from para-05 of this bail application. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioners 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 petitioners on bail. Accordingly, the petitioners are directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Judicial Magistrate-1st Class, Giridih in connection with Saria P.S. Case No.72 of 2026 with the condition that the petitioners will co-operate with the trial of the case and will furnish their mobile numbers and photocopy of the Aadhar Cards with an undertaking that they will not change their mobile numbers during the trial of the case, with further condition that they will not annoy or disturb the informant or the witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case.
