JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Aditya Kr. Jha, Advocate : Mr. Vikas Kumar, Advocate For the State : Mr. Pankaj Kumar, P.P. : Ms. Masli Pathak, AC to P.P. ------ Order No.02 Dated- 22.06.2026 Heard the parties. The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Baliapur P.S. Case No.303 of 2025 registered for the offences punishable under sections 319(2), 318(4), 336(3), 340(2), 61(2)(a) of the B.N.S., 2023 and under Section 10(1) of the Public Examination (Prevention of unfair Means) Act. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner appeared in the Railway Recruitment Board Level –1, Stage -2 examination on behalf of Pintu Kumar by impersonating as Pintu Kumar. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false. It is then submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in para –10 of the bail application. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 18.12.2025, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 09 of the bail application. It is then submitted that though charge sheet has been submitted in this case but no witnesses has been examined so far. It is further submitted that the petitioner undertakes to cooperate with the trial of the case and further undertakes that he 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 petitioner be admitted to bail. The learned 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 Judicial Magistrate -1st Class, Dhanbad, in connection with Baliapur P.S. Case No.303 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 witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case.
