JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Gautam Kumar, Advocate For the State : Mr. Praful Jojo, Addl. P.P. ------ Order No.02 Dated- 25.06.2026 Heard the parties. The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with S.T. No. 281 of 2025 arising out of Tinpahar P.S. Case No.104 of 2025 corresponding to G.R. Case No. 532 of 2025 registered for the offences punishable under sections 103(1) 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 the murder of Margi Paharin. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false. It is then submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in para –13 of the bail application. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 19.07.2025, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 01 of the bail application. 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. on the other hand vehemently opposes the prayer for bail and submits that the informant who is the main witness of the case is yet to be examined and in view of the direct allegation of serious nature of committing murder of his own sister and also chasing away the informant who is the husband of his sister thereby preventing him from saving the deceased, there is every chance of the petitioner absconding, if released on bail. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner ought not be admitted to bail. Considering the serious nature of allegation against the petitioner and the chance of the petitioner absconding if released on bail, this Court is not inclined to admit the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the prayer for regular bail of the above-named petitioner is rejected. (Anil Kumar Choudhary, J.) 25.06.2026 Sonu/
