SRI ANANDA SEN, J. ------ For the Petitioner(s) : Mr. Pran Pranay, Advocate For the State : Mr. Shailendra Kr. Tiwari, Spl.P.P. . ------ 02/25.02.2026: This bail application has been filed under Sections 483 & 484 of BNSS, 2023 wherein, prayer has been made for grant of bail as the petitioner is in custody for allegedly committing offence punishable under Sections 111(2)(b), 317(2), 317(5), 318(4), 319(2), 336(3), 338, 340(2), 3(5) of BNS, 2023, under Sections 66(B), 66(C), 66(D) of I.T. Act, 2009 and under Sections 42(3)(e) of Telecommunication Act, 2023.
2. Heard, learned counsel for the petitioner, learned counsel for the State and have also gone through the impugned order.
3. Learned Spl. P.P opposes the prayer for bail of the petitioner.
4. It is alleged that on secret information that some persons are committing cyber fraud at the forest bushes situated at village Duladih under Narayanpur Police Station, a raid was conducted on 21.7.2025. Seeing the police team, six persons including this petitioner tried to flee away but they were caught by the police. On search, four smart mobile phones of different companies and different active SIM Cards and one motorcycle were recovered from the possession of Belal Ansari i.e. this petitioner.
5. From perusal of the case diary, it appears that Mobile SIM Cards recovered from the possession of the petitioner and others are found to be issued in the name of different persons in which several e-wallets have been created.
6. Considering the nature of allegations and the aforesaid materials as well as the fact that charge has not been framed, I am not inclined to grant privilege of bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner, named above, in connection with Jamtara Cyber P.S. Case No. 68/2025, pending in the Court of learned Special Judge, Cyber Crime, Jamtara, stands rejected.
7. However, the petitioner is at liberty to move bail application afresh after framing of charge.
8. Accordingly, this bail application is dismissed. February 25, 2026 (ANANDA SEN, J.) Anu/CP-3. Uploaded on: 27.2.2026
