Heard the parties. The petitioner has moved before this Court for grant of bail in connection with Tamar P.S. Case No. 58 of 2021 corresponding to S.T. Case No. 304 of 2023, registered for the offences punishable under sections 302, 120B, 34 of the Indian Penal Code along with Section 25(1-B)(a), 26, 27 and 35 of the Arms Act. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner in furtherance of common intention with co-accused person and in criminal conspiracy with them, committed murder of Majoy Kumar Jha. It is next submitted that direct and specific allegation of firing on Manoj Kumar Jha, is upon Afsar @ Chhotu @ Langra and Sonu Ansari. It is next submitted that the informant is the eye witness of the occurrence, yet though the petitioner is not named in the First Information Report, still he has not been put on T.I. Parade as mentioned in paragraph no. 11 of this bail application. It is then submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 17.10.2025, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 17 of the bail application and charge-sheet has been submitted against the petitioner. It is next submitted that the petitioner undertakes to cooperate with the trial of the case and further undertakes that he will not annoy or disturb the informant or 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 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 abovenamed 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) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Additional Judicial Commissioner – II, Ranchi, in connection with Tamar P.S. Case No. 58 of 2021 corresponding to S.T. Case No. 304 of 2023, with the condition that the petitioner will cooperate with the trial of the case and will furnish his mobile number and a copy of his Aadhar Card in the court below with the 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 informant or the witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case.
