Jambhuban Mahato, son of Ankur Mahato, aged about 25 years, resident of Haradugari, P.O. & P.S.-Kapali, Dist.- Seraikella Kharsawan … Petitioners Versus The State of Jharkhand … Opposite Party ------ CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioners : Mr. Jitendra N. Upadhyay, Advocate For the State : Mr. Bhola N. Ojha, Spl. P.P. ------ Order No.02 Dated- 08.07.2026 Heard the parties. The petitioners have moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Mango (Olidih O.P.) P.S. Case No.45 of 2026 (N.D.P.S. Case No. 51 of 2026) registered for the offences punishable under sections 17(a)/21(a)/22(a)/29 of the N.D.P.S. Act. The learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the allegation against the petitioners is that the petitioners were in illegal possession of 6.57 grams of brown sugar which is also known as Heroin. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioners are all false and the seized brown sugar also comes under intermediate quantity. It is next submitted that though charge sheet has been submitted in this case but no witnesses have been examined as yet. It is then submitted that the petitioner no.1 has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in paragraph no.20 of the bail application. It is then submitted that the petitioners have been in custody since 02.03.2026, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 12 of the bail application. It is next submitted that the petitioners undertake to cooperate with the trial of the case and further undertake that they 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 petitioners be admitted to bail. The learned Spl. 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 petitioners on bail. Accordingly, the petitioners are 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 Sessions Judge-cum-Special Judge, Jamshedpur, in connection with Mango (Olidih O.P.) P.S. Case No.45 of 2026 (N.D.P.S. Case No. 51 of 2026) with the condition that the petitioners will cooperate with the trial of the case and will furnish their mobile numbers and a copy of their Aadhar Cards in the court below with the undertaking that they will not change their mobile numbers during the trial of the case, with further condition that they will not annoy or disturb the informant or the witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case.
