JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Dilip Kr. Saw, Advocate For the State : Ms. Lily Sahay, Addl. P.P. ------ Order No.02 Dated- 09.09.2026 Heard the parties. The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Jariyagarh P.S. Case No.08 of 2025 registered for the offences punishable under sections 317/3(5) of the B.N.S., 2023, Section 30 of Coal Mines (Nationalization) Act and under Section 33 of the Indian Forest Act. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner was involved in illegal extraction of coal from protected forest. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and the petitioner was not present at the alleged place of occurrence. It is then submitted that the petitioner has been implicated in this case only on the basis of the confessional statement of co-accused persons simply because he is the owner of the vehicle concerned. It is then submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 28.07.2026, 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. 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., Khunti, in connection with Jariyagarh P.S.
