This is the second journey of the petitioner with the self- same prayer as earlier the prayer for regular bail of the petitioner was rejected on merit vide order dated 27.01.2026 passed in B.A. No.9644 of 2025.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the fresh ground is that though the petitioner is not named in the F.I.R. yet without putting him on Test Identification Parade as has been mentioned in para-11 of the instant bail application, charge-sheet has been submitted against him and no witness has been examined as yet. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioner is false. Drawing attention of this Court towards para-14 of the instant bail application, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent. It is further submitted that only because a looted mobile phone was recovered from his possession, hence, the petitioner has been implicated in this case
with the aid of the confessional statement of the co-accused persons. It is then submitted that the petitioner undertakes that he will co- operate with the trial of the case and that he will not annoy or disturb 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 18.07.2025 as has been mentioned in para-01 of the instant bail application. Hence it is submitted that the petitioner be released on bail.
Learned Addl. P.P. opposes the prayer for bail.
Considering the facts of this case, the above-named petitioner is directed to be enlarged 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 Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Gumla in connection with Sisai P.S.
