Order No.02 Dated- 18-07-2026
Heard the parties. The petitioners have moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Saraiyahat P.S. Case No.102 of 2024 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 191(2), 191(3), 190, 103(1), 115(2), 117(2), 109 and 3(5) of the B.N.S., 2023. The learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the allegation against the petitioners is that the petitioners was member of an unlawful assembly and in prosecution of the common object of the assembly committed murder of Gudra Hansda. It is next submitted that the allegations against the petitioners are all false. It is then submitted that for the self-same occurrence, police registered Saraiyahat P.S. Case No.101 of 2024 wherein it has been mentioned that the informant and others were the aggressors and they were armed with explosive substances. It is further submitted that there were free-fight between the parties in respect to taking possession of the land. It is also submitted that the petitioners have no intention to kill anyone. It is next submitted that the petitioners have no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in
para-20 of this bail application. It is further submitted that the petitioners undertake to cooperate with the trial of the case and further undertake that they will not annoy or disturb the informant/victim or the witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case. It is lastly submitted that the petitioners have been in custody since 15.05.2026 as has been mentioned in para-19 of this bail application. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioners 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 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 Judicial Magistrate-1st Class, Dumka in connection with Saraiyahat P.S. Case No.102 of 2024 with the condition that the petitioners will co- operate with the trial of the case and will furnish their mobile numbers and photocopy of the Aadhar Cards with an 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.
