Petitioners Versus The State of Jharkhand .... .... .... Opposite Party ------ CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioners : Mr. Ankit Apurva, Advocate For the State : Mr. V.S. Sahay, Addl.P.P For the Informant : Mr. Zaid Ahmad, Advocate : Mr. Ranish Kumar, Advocate ------ Order No.02 Dated- 01-07-2026 Heard the parties. The petitioners have moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Kanke P.S. Case No.118 of 2025 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 126(2), 115(2), 351, 352, 316(2), 318(4) and 3(5) of the B.N.S., 2023. The learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the allegation against the petitioners is that the petitioners cheated the informant and took money on the guise of arranging big loan at low rate of interest for the informant. It is next submitted that the allegations against the petitioners are all false. It is then submitted that the charge sheet has been submitted in this case, but no witnesses have been examined as yet. It is also submitted that the dispute between the parties is at best a civil dispute. It is further submitted that the petitioners undertake to cooperate with the trial of the case and further undertake that they 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 petitioners have been in custody since 12.12.2025 as is evident from para-16 of this bail application. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioners 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 petitioners on bail. Accordingly, the petitioners are 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 Judicial Magistrate, Ranchi in connection with Kanke P.S. Case No.118 of 2025 with the condition that the petitioners will co-operate with the trial of the case and will furnish their mobile numbers and photocopy of the Aadhar Cards with an undertaking that they will not change their mobile numbers during the trial of the case, with further condition that they will not annoy or disturb the informant or the witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case.
