This bail application has been filed under Sections 483 and 484 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 wherein, prayer has been made for grant of bail as the petitioner is in custody for allegedly committing offence punishable under Sections 111(2)(b), 317(2), 317(4), 317(5), 318(4), 319(2), 336(3), 338, 340(2), 3(5) of B.N.S. 2023 & Section 66(B), 66(C) and 66(D) of I.T. Act and 42(3)(e) of Telecommunications Act, 2023. 2. Heard, learned counsel for the petitioners, learned counsel for the State and have also gone through the impugned order. 3. Learned APP opposes the prayer for bail. 4. This is a second attempt for regular bail by the petitioner. There is a specific allegation in case diary that this petitioner along with others is committing cyber fraud by using mobile phones. The SIM Cards were obtained on the basis of forged documents. The mobile phones were used to call several persons for committing cheating. Further, there are three online complaints of committing cyber fraud of Rs.39,309/-, Rs.1,87,688/- and Rs.93,228/- which were done by using different SIMs in the mobile phone (IMEI) seized from the petitioner and there is one criminal antecedent of the petitioner apart from this case. 5. Considering the fact, I am not inclined to grant privilege of bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner in connection with Jamtara Cyber Crime Case No.69/2025, corresponding to Cyber Case No.14/2026, pending in the Court of learned Special Judge, Cyber Crime, Jamtara, stands rejected. 6. Accordingly, this bail application is dismissed. 7. The trial should be concluded within six months. (ANANDA SEN, J.) 22.06.2026 SKD/CP-3 Uploaded on 24.06.2026
