Heard the parties. The petitioner has moved before this Court for grant of bail in connection with Barkagaon P.S. Case No. 36 of 2026, registered for the offences punishable under sections 191(2), 191(3), 190, 103(1), 126(2), 115(2), 118(1), 118(2), 109(1), 125(a), 125(b), 281, 324(4), 61(2) of the B.N.S., 2023. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner was a member of an unlawful assembly and in prosecution of common object of the unlawful assembly, committed murder of Rohit Kumar and Pradeep Kumar. It is next submitted that the petitioner is not named in the F.I.R. and the petitioner is implicated in this case only on the basis of confessional statement of co- accused, namely, Vikas Kumar and there is no material to implicate the petitioner in this case. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and the petitioner has been in custody since 07.03.2026, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 01 of the bail application and although charge-sheet has already been submitted yet no witnesses have been examined. It is next 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 or 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. opposes the prayer for bail. Considering the submissions of the counsels and the fact as discussed above, I am inclined to enlarge the abovenamed 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) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Judicial Magistrate – 1st Class, Hazaribag, in connection with Barkagaon P.S. Case No. 36 of 2026, with the condition that the petitioner will cooperate with the trial of the case and will furnish his mobile number and a copy of his Aadhar Card in the court below with the 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.
