Versus The State of Jharkhand … Opposite Party(s). CORAM : SRI ANANDA SEN, J. ------ For the Petitioner(s) : Mr. Prakash Kumar Sahay, Advocate For the State : Mr. Azeemuddin, APP …...... 03 /11.09.2026: This bail application has been filed under Sections 483 & 484 of BNSS, 2023 wherein, prayer has been made for grant of bail as he is in custody for allegedly committing offence punishable under Sections 103(1) and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. 2. Heard, learned counsel for the petitioner, learned counsel for the State and have also gone through the impugned order. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that there is no direct evidence against the petitioner and he made accused merely on suspicion. 4. Learned APP opposes the prayer for bail. 5. The bail applications of this petitioner were twice rejected. 6. There is specific allegation against this petitioner that he had taken the deceased in a motorcycle towards the forest and soon thereafter the husband of the informant was found in injured condition in the forest area. He was taken to hospital where he succumbed to injuries. The proximity of time from the last seen and the recovery of husband of the informant found in injured condition, is not much. Witnesses examined in the Court have deposed that they have seen the petitioner taking the 2026:JHHC:27373 2 deceased with him towards the forest. Thus, I am not inclined to reconsider the bail application to the petitioner. 7. Accordingly, the prayer for bail application of the petitioner in connection with Budhai PS Case No. 84 of 2024 corresponding to ST Case No. 151 of 2025, pending in the Court of learned Additional Sessions Judge-I, Madhupur stands rejected. 8. Accordingly, this bail application is dismissed. 9. It is brought on record through counter-affidavit dated 08.09.2026 that out of 11 charge-sheet witnesses, 7 witnesses have already been examined and only 4 charge-sheet witnesses have remained to be examined. 10. It is expected that the trial be concluded preferably within a period of three months. (ANANDA SEN, J.) 11.09.2026 Tanuj/CP-2 Uploaded on 11.09.2026
