JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioners : Mr. Subhneet Jha, Advocate : Mr. Manish Kr. Paswan, Advocate For the State : Mr. P.K. Chatterjee, Spl. P.P. ------ Order No.02 Dated- 23.07.2026 Heard the parties. The petitioners have moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with S.T. Case No. 310 of 2026 arising out of Barkagaon P.S. Case No.19 of 2014 registered for the offences punishable under sections 379, 411, 413, 285, 286 & 34 of the Indian Penal Code, under Section 30(ii) of the Coal Mines Act and under Section 33 of the Indian Forest Act. The learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the allegation against the petitioners is that the petitioners have misused the bail granted to them and surrendered voluntarily on 22.06.2026 and since then they have been in custody, as mentioned in para 10 of the bail application. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false. 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 witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioners be admitted to bail. The learned Spl. 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 petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the petitioners are directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.1,00,000/- (Rupees One Lakh) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Additional Sessions Judge-VI, Hazaribagh, in connection with S.T. Case No. 310 of 2026 arising out of Barkagaon P.S. Case No.19 of 2014 with the condition that the petitioners will co-operate with the trial of the case and will furnish their mobile number and photocopy of the Aadhar Card with an undertaking that they will not change their mobile number during the trial of the case, with further condition that they will not annoy or disturb the witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case.
