No.2, Advocate For the State : Mr. P.K. Chatterjee, Spl.P.P ------ Order No.02 Dated- 27-07-2026 Heard the parties. The petitioners have moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Lesliganj P.S. Case No.74 of 2026 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 317(5) & 3(5) of the BNS, 2023, Sections 12(1), 12(2) & 13 of the Jharkhand Bovine Animal Prohibition of Slaughter Act and Section 11 of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animal Act. The learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the allegation against the petitioners is that the petitioners were involved in transportation of bovine animals for their illegal slaughter. It is next submitted that the allegations against the petitioners are all false. It is then submitted that the petitioners have no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in para-10 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 17.05.2026 as has been mentioned in para-10 of this bail application. 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 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, Palamau at Daltonganj in connection with Lesliganj P.S. Case No.74 of 2026 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.
