Petitioner Versus The State of Jharkhand .... .... .... Opposite Party ------ CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Mukesh Bihari Lal, Advocate For the State : Mr. Pankaj Kr. Mishra, Addl.P.P ------ Order No.02 Dated- 24-06-2026 Heard the parties. The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Chirkunda P.S. Case No.58 of 2026 registered for the offences punishable under sections 303(2)/331(4) of the B.N.S., 2023. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner has committed theft of gold and silver ornaments and cash from the house of the informant after committing house trespass. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false. It is then submitted that the petitioner has been implicated in this case only on the basis of recovery of confessional statement made by the Shivam Kumar Singh who has already been granted bail. It is further submitted that except the confessional statement of the co-accused, there is no other material to implicate the petitioner in this case. It is also submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 07.05.2026, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 16 of the bail application. 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 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) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned C.J.M., Dhanbad, in connection with Chirkunda P.S. Case No.58 of 2026 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 witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case.
