Kowali, Town Jamshedpur, District East Singhbhum …. …. Petitioner(s)/Applicant(s) Versus The State of Jharkhand …. …. Opposite Party ---- CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH KUMAR ---- For the Petitioner(s)/Applicant(s) : Mr. Jitendra Shankar Singh, Sr. Adv. For the State : Mr. Shailesh Kr. Sinha, A.P.P. ---- 06/Dated: 06th July, 2026 1. Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned counsel for the State. 2. The applicant, who is in custody since 29.07.2025, has renewed his prayer for grant of regular bail in connection with Kowali P.S. Case No.29 of 2025, registered for the offence under Sections 332(2), 117(2), 118(2), 109, 103(1) and 3(5) of the B.N.S, 2023 and cognizance has been taken under Sections 332(2), 117(2), 118(2), 103(1), 109(1), 238 & 3(5) of the BNS, 2023, pending in the court of learned Judicial Magistrate, 1st Class, Jamshedpur. 3. The prayer for bail of the applicant was earlier rejected by this Court, vide order dated 30.03.2026, passed in B.A. 12047 of 2025. 4. It has been submitted by the learned counsel for the applicant(s) that complete set of FIR along with its enclosure have been annexed with this bail application and there is no suppression on his/her part. 5. Innocence has been claimed by the learned counsel for the applicant and undertaking has been given for participation in the trial. It has been submitted by the learned counsel for the applicant that that the investigation is complete and one of the witnesses has already been examined. It has also been submitted that one of co-accused persons namely, Shisudhar Sardar has already been granted bail by the Co-ordinate Bench of this Court, vide order dated 06.04.2026 passed in B.A. No.11929 of 2025. It has been contended that the said bail was granted on the ground that the entire case is only on the basis of suspicion. The surviving victim did not identify either the present applicant or the co-accused in the aforesaid bail application as the assailants. 2026:JHHC:19707 Page | 2 B.A. No.3157 of 2026 In another case, the alleged recovery of weapon has not been sent to FSL for examination. In the present case, there is no recovery of weapon. Thus, the case of present applicant stands on similar footing as that of the co-accused namely, Shisudhar Sardar in B.A. No.11929 of 2025. On the aforesaid grounds, parity has been claimed and prayer for bail has been made. 6. Learned counsel for the State has opposed the prayer for bail but could not dispute the above factual matrix. 7. In view of the above facts, I am inclined to enlarge the applicant on bail. Accordingly, the applicant, named above, is directed to be released on bail, on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand Only) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned Judicial Magistrate, 1st Class, Jamshedpur in connection with Kowali P.S. Case No.29 of 2025, subject to condition that the applicant(s) will submit self-attested photocopy/photocopies of his/her/their Aadhaar Card(s) and also submit his/her/their mobile number(s) before the learned Trial Court which he/she/they will always keep active and will not change it during pendency of this case without prior permission of the court.
