Order No.03 Dated- 24.02.2026
Heard the parties.
The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Balumath P.S. Case No.88 of 2025 (G.R. No. 947 of 2025) registered for the offences punishable under sections 111(4) of the B.N.S., 2023 and under Sections 25(1-B)a/26/35 of the Arms Act.
The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner led to recovery of fire arms illegally possessed by him. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and the petitioner has been implicated in this case only on the basis of suspicion. It is next submitted that there is no direct and specific allegation against the petitioner. It is then submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 02.08.2025, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 18 of the bail application. It is next submitted that the petitioner undertakes to cooperate with the trial of the case. It is lastly submitted that the co-accused persons have already been admitted to bail by coordinate Benches of this Court. 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 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 C.J.M., Latehar, in connection with Balumath P.S. Case No.88 of 2025 (G.R. No. 947 of 2025) with the condition that the petitioner will cooperate with the trial of the case and will furnish his mobile number and a copy of his Aadhar Card in the court below with the undertaking that he will not change his mobile number during the trial of the case.
