JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Sushil Kr. Verma, Advocate For the State : Mr. Arup Kr. Dey, Addl.P.P ------ Order No.02 Dated-19-06-2026 Heard the parties. The petitioner has been made accused in connection with S.T. Case No. 136 of 2025 arising out of Garhwa Town P.S. Case No.26 of 2025 registered for the offence punishable under Sections 103(1), 3(5) of the B.N.S., 2023. This is the third journey of the petitioner with the prayer for regular bail. Earlier the prayer for regular bail of the petitioner was once rejected by this Court vide order dated 07.11.2025 passed in B.A. No. 9254 of 2025 and subsequently, the prayer for regular bail of the petitioner was dismissed as withdrawn by this Court vide order dated 23.06.2025 passed in B.A. No. 4579 of 2025. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the fresh ground is that so far, seven (7) witnesses have been examined in this case and all of them have supported the case of the prosecution, hence, the petitioner has not filed the copy of the deposition of the witnesses with this bail application. It is next submitted that the allegation against the petitioner is false. It is then submitted that the petitioner has remained in custody for some more time. It is further submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 22.01.2025 as mentioned in para-10 of the instant bail application. It is lastly submitted that the petitioner is ready and willing to co-operate with the trial of the case. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be released on bail. Learned counsel appearing for the State on the other hand opposes the prayer for bail of the petitioner and submits that since seven (7) witnesses have been examined in this case who have supported the case of the prosecution, there is every chance of the petitioner absconding and tampering with the evidence, if released on bail. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner ought not to be released on bail. Considering the serious nature of allegation against the petitioner of committing murder of Mumtaz @ Chhotu Ranjsaj as well as the evidence that has already come on record as well as chance of his absconding and tampering with the evidence, if released on bail, this Court is not inclined to admit the above named petitioner to bail. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the above named petitioner is rejected. (Anil Kumar Choudhary, J.) Dated:- 19.06.2026 Saroj/
