( 2026:JHHC:25439 ) IN THE HIGH COURT OF JHARKHAND AT RANCHI B.A. No. 7866 of 2026 ------ Harsh Kumar Singh @ Harsh Kumar @ Ayush, aged about 24 years, son of Arbind Kumar Singh, resident of Qtr. No. G/79, Panchmandir, PTPS, P.O. & P.S.-Patratu, Dist.-Ramgarh, Jharkhand-829119 … Petitioner Versus The State of Jharkhand … Opposite Party ------ CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Ms. Bakshi Vibha, Advocate For the State : Mr. Praful Jojo, Addl. P.P. ------ Order No.02 Dated- 24.08.2026 Heard the parties. The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Lalpur P.S. Case No.109 of 2026 registered for the offences punishable under sections 305(a)/302(2)/61 of the B.N.S., 2023. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner in criminal conspiracy with the co-accused persons was involved in commission of theft in the house of the informant and took away jewellery and cash of Rs.40,000/-. It is further alleged that from the CCTV camera the informant could know about the involvement of the petitioner in the offence and thereafter the petitioner confessed his guilt and stated that he sold the same to the co-accused- Siddhant Suman from whom looted articles have been recovered. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false. It is next submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in paragraph no.20 of the bail application. It is then submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 03.06.2026, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 01 of the bail application. It is next 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. on the other hand opposes the prayer for bail and submits that in view of the serious nature of allegation against the petitioner, the petitioner ought not to be admitted to bail. Considering the submissions of the counsels and the fact that the petitioner is earlier known to the informant being cousin brother-in-law of the informant and kept the key of the informant’s house and substantial amount of stolen property has been recovered, 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 J.M., Ranchi, in connection with Lalpur P.S. Case No.109 of 2026 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, with further condition that he will not annoy or disturb the witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case.
