( 2026:JHHC:19112 ) IN THE HIGH COURT OF JHARKHAND AT RANCHI B.A. No.3681 of 2026 ------ Sunti Devi, aged about 36 years, W/o Late Mahesh Singh, R/o Village-Silam, P.O. & P.S.-Raidih, District-Gumla, Jharkhand. .... .... …. Petitioner Versus The State of Jharkhand .... .... .... Opposite Party ------ CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Mohit Prakash, Advocate For the State : Mr. Vijoy Kr. Sinha, Addl.P.P ------ Order No.03 Dated- 30-06-2026 Heard the parties. The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Raidih P.S. Case No. 77 of 2025 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 103(1) & 238 of the BNS, 2023. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner has committed murder of nephew of the informant namely Ganesh Singh. It is next submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false. It is then submitted that the petitioner is not named in the FIR and she has been implicated in this case only on the basis of her own confessional statement and confessional statement of the co-accused persons and also the call detail records which shows that the petitioner was in telephonic conversation with the co- accused Pankaj Kumar Pathak on ten different occasions between 01.11.2025 to 15.12.2025 including three times on the date of occurrence. 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 she 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 16.12.2025 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. 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, Gumla in connection with Raidih P.S. Case No. 77 of 2025 with the condition that the petitioner will co-operate with the trial of the case and will furnish her mobile number and photocopy of the Aadhar Card with an undertaking that she will not change her mobile number during the trial of the case, with further condition that she will not annoy or disturb the informant or the witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case.
