The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Barkagaon P.S. Case No.54 of 2026 corresponding to G.R.

The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner was planning to carry out a major offence and the co-accused was in possession of a country made pistol loaded with four rounds of live cartridges and a magazine loaded with four cartridges was recovered from another co-accused person, whereas five live cartridges were recovered from the co-accused –Teju Kumar Bhokta. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 09.04.2026, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 17 of the bail application. It is then submitted that charge sheet has already been submitted in this case. 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 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 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, Hazaribagh, in connection with Barkagaon P.S.
