JUSTICE RAJESH SHANKAR ----- For the Petitioner : Mr. Sudhansu Kumar Deo, Advocate For the State : Mr. Vishwanath Roy, Spl.P.P. ----- 02/14.08.2026 Heard learned counsel for the parties. 2. The petitioner is an accused for the offences punishable under Sections 319(2)/318(4)/338/336(3)/340(2)/61(2) of the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 and Sections 66B/66C/66D/84C of the Information Technology Act. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the bail application of the petitioner in connection with the present case was earlier rejected by this Court vide order dated 30.04.2026 passed in B.A. No. 3638 of 2026. It is further submitted that on perusal of the said order, it would appear that the case of the petitioner was similarly situated to co-accused Sufiyan Ansari and Ajay Kumar Das. Subsequent to rejection of the petitioner’s bail application, Sufiyan Ansari has been granted bail by a Bench of this Court vide order dated 15.06.2026 passed in B.A. No. 3716 of 2026, whereas co-accused Ajay Kumar Das has also been granted bail by a co-ordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 29.07.2026 passed in B.A. No. 4997 of 2026. It is also submitted that charge against the petitioner has already been framed by the learned trial court on 03.07.2026 (a copy of which has been annexed as Annexure-5 to the present bail application). Under the said circumstance, the petitioner may be given the privilege of regular bail. 4. Mr. Vishwanath Roy, learned Spl.P.P. opposes the petitioner’s 2026:JHHC:24352 2 prayer for bail. He, however, accepts the fact that the aforesaid co-accused have subsequently been granted bail by a co-ordinate Bench of this Court. He also accepts the fact that the charge against the petitioner has been framed. 5. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and considering the facts and circumstances of the case, I am inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the petitioner above named is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.20,000/- (Rupees Twenty thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned Additional Sessions Judge-II-cum-Special Judge, Cyber Crime Cases, Deoghar in connection with Deoghar Cyber P.S.
