JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Ms. Juhi Kumari, Advocate For the State : Mr. Gautam Rakesh, Addl. P.P. ------ Order No.03 Dated- 28.07.2026 Heard the parties. The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with S.T. No. 08 of 2026 arising out of Jamua P.S. Case No.164 of 2023 registered for the offences punishable under sections 302/201/506/34 of the Indian Penal Code. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner in furtherance of common intention with the co-accused persons has committed the murder of Basudeo Yadav and are threatening the informant that if they are impleaded in this case, he will kill the informant also. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and the petitioner is not aware of the criminal antecedent of himself. It is next submitted that no witness has been examined as yet though charge has been framed in this case. It is next submitted that the petitioner undertakes to cooperate with the trial of the case. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be admitted to bail. Learned Addl. P.P. on the other hand vehemently opposes the prayer for bail and submits that keeping in view the serious nature of allegation against the petitioner of committing murder of Basudeo Yadav and the fact that he is threatening the informant to kill him also, there is every chance of the petitioner absconding and tampering with evidence, if released on bail. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner ought not to be admitted to bail. Considering the serious nature of allegation against the petitioner and the chance of the petitioner absconding and tampering with evidence, if released on bail, this Court is not inclined to admit the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the abovenamed petitioner is rejected. (Anil Kumar Choudhary, J.) 28.07.2026 Gunjan-
