Heard the parties. The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with S.T. No. 25 of 2026 arising out of Jari P.S. Case No.19 of 2025 (G.R. No. 45 of 2026) registered for the offences punishable under sections 103(1) 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 the murder of his father Sahlu Oraon. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false. It is then submitted that the mother of the petitioner who is the informant of the case and before whom, the dying declaration was made has been examined as P.W.5 and she has categorically stated that she does not know how the occurrence happened and she has not even been declared hostile; so the prosecution has accepted her version and she has given a clean chit to the petitioner. It is next submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in paragraph no.16 of the bail application. It is then submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 09.10.2025, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 22 of the bail application. 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 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) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned A.S.J.-V, Gumla, in connection with S.T. No. 25 of 2026 arising out of Jari P.S. Case No.19 of 2025 (G.R. No. 45 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 witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case.
