Versus The State of Jharkhand … Opp. Party(s). ------ CORAM : SRI ANANDA SEN, J. ------ For the Petitioner(s) : Mr. Sudhir Kumar Roy, Advocate For the State : Mr. Shailendra Kr. Tiwari, Spl. P.P. …...... 02/ 30.03.2026: This bail application has been filed by the petitioner 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 419/420 of IPC and Sections 66(B), 66(C) and 66(D) of Information Technology Act. 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. 4. It is the prosecution case that the informant received a phone call from one Sikandar Kumar requesting her to share User ID, Aadhaar Card number and other details. Once the same was shared, an amount of Rs. 50,000/- was deducted from her account and was credited to the bank account, which is the name of Sikandar Kumar. 5. Petitioner is not named in the F.I.R. nor there is direct allegation against this petitioner. 6. Though there is specific allegation that the amount was credited in the account of Sikandar Kumar, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that Sikandar Kumar has been granted bail by the Trial Court itself. 7. Considering the aforesaid fact, since the petitioner is not named in the F.I.R. and Sikandar Kumar has been granted bail by the Trial Court, I am inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the petitioner, named above, is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned Additional Sessions Judge-II-Cum-Special Judge (Cyber Crime), Giridih, in connection with Giridih (Cyber) P.S. Case No.12 of 2024, subject to the condition that one of the bailors should be a close relative of the petitioner, having sufficient landed property in his/her own name within the State of Jharkhand.
