Case No.198 of 2021 registered for the offences punishable under sections 414/467/468/471/120B of the Indian Penal Code. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner was a habitual offender of receiving stolen property and stolen Fortuner vehicle involved in this case was recovered from the conscious possession of the petitioner. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false. It is then submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 20.06.2026, 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. 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 Judicial Magistrate, Ranchi, in connection with Chutia P.S.
