Balu, P.S. –Balumath, District –Latehar. … Petitioner Versus The State of Jharkhand … Opposite Party ------ CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Rajesh Kumar, Advocate For the State : Mr. Nawin Kr. Singh, Addl. P.P. ------ Order No.02 Dated- 19.08.2026 Heard the parties. The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Balumath P.S. Case No.60 of 2026 registered for the offences punishable under sections 103(1), 3(5) of the B.N.S., 2023 and under Section 27 of the Arms Act. 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 committed murder of Rameshwar Oraon @ Ramesh Oraon and on the basis of the confessional statement of the petitioner, one country made muzzle loading gun was recovered and seized. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and there is no eye-witness to the occurrence. It is next submitted that the case is based on suspicion. It is then submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in para –17 of the bail application. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 15.06.2026, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 01 of the bail application. It is also submitted that the co-accused person has already been admitted to bail by this Court vide order dated 06.08.2026 in B.A. No. 7376 of 2026. It is further submitted that the petitioner undertakes to cooperate with the trial of the case and further undertakes that he 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 petitioner be admitted to bail. The learned Addl. 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 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 C.J.M., Latehar, in connection with Balumath P.S. Case No.60 of 2026 with the condition that the petitioner will co-operate with the trial of the case and will furnish his mobile number and photocopy of the Aadhar Card with an undertaking that he will not change his mobile number during the trial of the case, with further condition that he will not annoy or disturb the witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case.
