2026:JHHC:6420 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JHARKHAND AT RANCHI B.A. No. 1500 of 2026 ----- Sameer Bhengra, S/o Ratan Bhengra, R/o Village- Kandeyor, P.O.- Angrabari & P.S. Torpa, District Khunti .... Petitioner(s). Versus The State of Jharkhand … Opp. Party(s). ------ CORAM : SRI ANANDA SEN, J. ------ For the Petitioner(s) : Mr. Nilendu Kumar, Advocate For the State : Ms. Amrita Kumari, AddI. P.P. …...... 02/ 11.03.2026: This bail application has been filed under Sections 483 & 484 of BNSS, 2023 wherein, prayer has been made for grant of bail as he is in custody for allegedly committing offence punishable under Sections 386, 387, 307, 120B read with Section 34 of IPC & Section 27 of Arms Act. 2. Heard, learned counsel for the petitioner learned counsel for the State and have also gone through the impugned order. 3. Learned A.P.P opposes the prayer for bail. 4. The case of prosecution in brief is that the informant and other were doing work when four persons of Samrat Gang armed with pistol came and obstruct the work and started assaulting them due to which he got injured, they took his mobile and fired upon him, but he somehow manage to flee from that place. 4. After going through the record, I find that petitioner was an absconder. The Investigating Officer has submitted chargesheet showing the petitioner to be an absconder. The case is of the year, 2014. Since the petitioner is an absconder during the trial, there is high probability that once he is released, he will not appear to face the trial. Thus, at this stage, I am not inclined to grant privilege of bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner in connection with S.T. No.10(A) 2018, arising out of Torpa P.S. Case No.20 of 2014, corresponding to G.R. No.124 of 2014 pending in the Court of learned D.A.S.J. Ist Khunti, stands rejected. 5. Accordingly, the instant bail application is dismissed. (ANANDA SEN, J.) 11th March, 2026 R.S./ Uploaded on 12 /03/2026
