Heard the parties.
The petitioner has been made accused in connection with Sisai P.S. Case No.84 of 2025 (S.T. No.231 of 2025) registered for the offences punishable under Section 309(4) of the B.N.S., 2023.
This is the second journey of the petitioner with the self- same prayer for regular bail as earlier the prayer for bail of the petitioner was rejected on merit by a co-ordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 27.01.2026 passed in B.A. No.11181 of 2025.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the fresh ground is that though the petitioner is neither named in the F.I.R. yet without putting him on Test Identification Parade as has been mentioned in paragraph-12 of the instant bail application, charge- sheet has been submitted against him and though charge has been framed on 28.01.2026 but no witness has been examined as yet. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioner is false. It is further submitted that the petitioner has been implicated in this case only on the basis of the confessional statement of the co-accused Manoj Mahli who has already been admitted to bail by a co-ordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 27.01.2026 passed in B.A.
No.9644 of 2025 along with other allied cases. It is also submitted that there is no recovery of any incriminating article from the possession of the petitioner. It is then submitted that the petitioner undertakes that he will co-operate with the trial of the case and that he will not annoy or disturb the witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case. It is lastly submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 19.07.2025 as has been mentioned in para- 07 of the instant bail application. Hence it is submitted that the petitioner be released on bail.
Learned Addl. P.P. opposes the prayer for bail.
Considering the facts of this case, the above-named petitioner is directed to be enlarged 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 Additional Sessions Judge-V, Gumla in connection with Sisai P.S. Case No.84 of 2025 (S.T. No.231 of 2025) with the condition that he will co-operate with the trial of the case, furnish his mobile number and photocopy of the Aadhar Card in the court below with an undertaking that he will not change his mobile number during the trial of the case and will not annoy or disturb the witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case.
