JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Aman Kumar, Advocate For the State : None ------ Order No.02 Dated- 07-07-2026 Heard. No one turns up on behalf of the State of Jharkhand in spite of repeated calls. The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Chatra Sadar P.S. Case No.91 of 2026 registered for the offences punishable under section 303(2) of the B.N.S., 2023 and under 21 of the NDPS Act. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner committed theft of the truck and sold it to the co-accused. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false. It is next submitted that for the purpose of committing theft of truck, he used to mix Ativan-06 tablets in the cold drinks of the truck drivers and when the drivers became senseless, he used to steal the truck and 42 pieces of Lorazepam tablet were recovered from the possession of the petitioner. 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 –13 of the bail application. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 04.04.2026, as has been mentioned in paragraph no.01 of the bail application. 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 witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be admitted to 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 Sessions Judge-cum-Special Judge, NDPS, Chatra in connection with Chatra Sadar P.S.
