JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioners : Mr. Gaurav, Advocate For the State : Mr. Achinto Sen, 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 Jariyagarh P.S. Case No.08 of 2026 registered for the offences punishable under sections 325/3(5) of the B.N.S., 2023, under Section 11 of Prevention of Cruelty of Animal Act, 1960 and under Section 12(1)/12(2)/12(3) of the Jharkhand Bovine Animal Prohibition of Slaughter Act, 2005. The learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the allegation against the petitioners is that the petitioners were involved in illegal sale and purchase of bovine flesh. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioners are all false. It is then submitted that the petitioners have no criminal antecedent and they have been in custody since 04.05.2026, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 16 of the bail application. 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 witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case. 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 Chief Judicial Magistrate, Khunti, in connection with Jariyagarh P.S. Case No.08 of 2026 with the condition that the petitioners will co-operate with the trial of the case and will furnish their mobile number and photocopy of the Aadhar Card with an undertaking that they will not change their mobile number during the trial of the case, with further condition that they will not annoy or disturb the witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case.
