JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Arun Kumar, Advocate For the State : Mr. Vijoy Kr. Sinha, Addl.P.P ------ Order No.02 Dated- 07-07-2026 Heard the parties. The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Kumardungi P.S. Case No.10 of 2026 registered for the offences punishable under sections 103(1)/238 of the B.N.S., 2023. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner has committed murder of Kartik Maharana. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false. It is next submitted that only because deceased talked to the petitioner over mobile phone for 805 seconds and thereafter his mobile was switched off and on the basis of the confessional statement of the co-accused, she has been implicated in this case. It is also submitted that the charge sheet has been submitted in this case, but no witness has been examined as yet. It is then submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in para –17 of the bail application. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 14.04.2026, as has been mentioned in paragraph no.17 of the bail application. It is further submitted that the petitioner undertakes to cooperate with the trial of the case and further undertakes that she will not annoy or disturb 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 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, West Singhbhum at Chaibasa, in connection with Kumardungi P.S. Case No.10 of 2026 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 witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case.
