Permanent Address-Haider Complex, Main Road, P.O. & P.S.- Khunti, District-Khunti (Jharkhand). .... .... …. Petitioner Versus The State of Jharkhand .... .... .... Opposite Party ------ CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Vishal Kr. Rai, Advocate For the State : Mr. Gautam Rakesh, Addl.P.P ------ Order No.05 Dated- 25-06-2026 Heard the parties. The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Karra P.S. Case No.81 of 2025 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 109 & 3(5) of the BNS, 2023 and under Section 27 of Arms Act. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner along with the co-accused persons attempted to murder Safique Miyan by firing upon him. It is next submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false. It is then submitted that the allegation of firing is against Sahid Miyan and the only allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner was driving a Scooty with Sahid Miyan in the pillion and Sahid Miyan fired upon the victim which hit the victim in his abdomen through chest. It is further submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in para-10 of this bail application. It is also 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/victim or the witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case. It is lastly submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 01.11.2025 as is evident from para-01 of this bail application. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be admitted to bail. Learned Addl. P.P. appearing for the State on the other hand vehemently opposes the prayer for bail and submits that keeping in view the serious nature of allegation against the petitioner of in furtherance of common intention with the co-accused persons, causing gunshot injuries to the victim, there is every chance of the petitioner absconding or tampering with evidence, if released on bail. It is therefore submitted that the petitioner ought not be released on bail. Considering the serious nature of allegation against the petitioner and the chance of the petitioner absconding or tampering with evidence, if released on bail, this Court is not inclined to admit the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the above-named petitioner is rejected at this stage. (Anil Kumar Choudhary, J.) 25/06/2026 Abhiraj/
