Heard the parties.
Learned counsel for the petitioners files a Supplementary Affidavit. Let the same be kept in the record.
The petitioners have been made accused in connection with Barora P.S. Case No.18 of 2026 registered for the offences punishable under Section 115(2), 126(2), 117(2), 109(1), 352, 351(2), 3(5) of the B.N.S., 2023 and Section 25 (1-B) (a), 26, 27, 35 of the Arms Act.
Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the allegation against the petitioners is that the petitioners, in furtherance of common intention with the co-accused persons, attempted to murder the informant- Ravindra Chouhan by firing upon him. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioners is false. It is next submitted that no one has sustained any fire-arm injury and the informant has sustained three injuries but all these injuries are simple in nature caused by hard and blunt object. It is
further submitted that though charge-sheet has already been submitted in this case but no witness has been examined as yet. It is then submitted that the petitioners undertake that they will co- operate with the trial of the case and that they will not annoy or disturb 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 26.04.2026 as has been mentioned in para-01 of the instant bail application. Hence it is submitted that the petitioners be released on bail.
Learned Addl. P.P. appearing for the State and the learned counsel for the informant vehemently oppose the prayer for bail.
Considering the facts of this case, the above-named petitioners are directed to be enlarged 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 J.M.F.C., Dhanbad in connection with Barora P.S. Case No.18 of 2026 with the condition that they will co-operate with the trial of the case, furnish their mobile number and photocopy of the Aadhar Card in the court below with an undertaking that they will not change their mobile number during the trial of the case and will not annoy or disturb the witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case.
