Opposite Party ------ CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. J.S. Singh, Sr. Advocate : Mr. Ramesh Kumar, Advocate : Ms. Tanu Kumari, Advocate For the State : Mr. Suraj Deo Munda, Addl.P.P For the Informant : Mr. Pratik Sen, Advocate ------ Order No.02 Dated- 21-07-2026 Heard the parties. The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Kadma P.S. Case No.106 of 2025 registered for the offences punishable under sections 103(1), 61(2) & 3(5) of the B.N.S., 2023 and Section 27 of Arms Act. Learned senior counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner, in criminal conspiracy with the co-accused persons, has committed murder of Md. Taukir @ Gora. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioner is false. It is next submitted that the direct allegation is against the co- accused persons namely Vijay Pandey, Sadab Khan and Masud Iqbal of firing upon the deceased and the only allegation against the petitioner is that she in criminal conspiracy with the co-accused persons was instrumental in commission of the murder of the deceased; because of land dispute. It is further submitted that except the confessional statement of the co-accused, there is no other material, except suspicion to show the involvement of the petitioner, in the alleged criminal conspiracy. It is then submitted that the petitioner undertakes that she will co-operate with the trial of the case and will not annoy or disturb the informant and other witnesses of the case during the trial of the case. It is further submitted that the co-accused has already been granted bail by this Court vide order dated 16.04.2026 in B.A. No.3019 of 2026. It is lastly submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 18.06.2026 as has been mentioned in para-01 of the instant bail application. Hence it is submitted that the petitioner be released on bail. The learned counsel appearing for the State and the learned counsel for the informant on the other hand vehemently 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 SDJM, Jamshedpur, in connection with Kadma P.S. Case No.106 of 2025 with the condition that the petitioner will cooperate with the trial of the case and will furnish her mobile number and a copy of her Aadhar Card in the court below with the undertaking that she will not change her mobile number during the trial of the case, with further condition that she will not annoy or disturb the witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case.
