Order No.03 Dated- 30-06-2026
Heard the parties. The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Chas Muffasil (M) P.S. Case No.101 of 2025 corresponding to G.R. No.1061 of 2025 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 126(2), 304(2), 204, 205, 309(4), 316(2), 318(2) & 61(2) of the BNS, 2023. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner cheated the informant with the co-accused Chotu Pathak by inducing the informant to transfer Rs.65 lakhs to the account of the petitioner and which amount has later been handed over in cash by Chotu Pathak to the informant, but while the informant was taking the same in a vehicle, some persons other than the petitioner has looted the same. It is next submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false. It is then submitted that the dispute between the parties so far as the petitioner is concerned is at best a civil dispute. It is also submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in para-02 of the supplementary affidavit dated
17.06.2026. 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 informant/victim or the witnesses of the case in any
manner during the trial of the case. It is also submitted that the co- accused has already been granted bail. It is lastly submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 25.07.2025 as mentioned in para- 01 of this bail application. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be admitted to bail. The learned Addl.P.P. and the learned counsel for the informant on the other hand vehemently 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 Additional Sessions Judge-I, Bokaro in connection with Chas Muffasil (M) P.S. Case No.101 of 2025 corresponding to G.R. No.1061 of 2025 with the condition that the petitioner will co-operate with the trial of the case and will furnish his mobile number and photocopy of the Aadhar Card with an 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 informant or the witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case.
