Order No.02 Dated- 29-07-2026
Heard the parties. The petitioner has moved before this Court for grant of bail in connection with Bariyatu P.S. Case No. 23 of 2026, registered for the offences punishable under sections 303(2), 317(5) of the B.N.S., 2023 and Section 21 of the MMDR Act and Section 13 of JM (PIMTS) Rule 2017. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner was the driver of the Hywa vehicle which was involved in transportation of stolen coal. It is next submitted that the allegation against the petitioner is false. It is then submitted that the petitioner undertakes to cooperate with the trial of the case and further undertakes that he will not annoy or disturb the informant or the witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case. It is lastly submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedents as mentioned in para -17 of this bail application and has been in custody since 10.06.2026 as mentioned in Para 01 of the instant bail application. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner 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 abovenamed petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to be released on bail on
furnishing bail bond of Rs. 25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Judicial Magistrate, 1st Class, Latehar, in connection with Bariyatu P.S. Case No. 23 of 2026 with the condition that he will co-operate with the trial of the case and furnish his mobile number and photocopy of the Aadhar Card in the court below with an undertaking that he will not change his mobile number during the trial of the case and will not annoy or disturb the informant or witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case.
