JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Ankit Kumar, Advocate For the State : Mr. Fahad Allam, Addl. P.P. ------ Order No.02 Dated- 23.09.2026 Heard the parties. The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Mohanpur P.S. Case No. 60 of 2026 registered for the offences punishable under sections 140(2)/3(5) of the B.N.S., 2023. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner in furtherance of common intention with the co-accused persons has abducted the informant and made a ransom call for Rs.1,60,000/- to the wife of the informant. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and the only allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner accompanied the co-accused Amit Yadav to the general provision store of the paternal uncle of the informant and purchased some eatables and cigarettes and was keeping a watch of the abducted victim in the jungle and also assaulted the victim. It is next submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in paragraph no.14 of the bail application. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 29.04.2026, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 15 of the bail application. It is then submitted that though charge sheet has been submitted in this case but no witness has been examined so far. It is further 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. It is lastly submitted that the co-accused person with similar allegation has already been admitted to bail by this Court vide order dated 07.07.2026 in B.A. No. 5429 of 2026 and order dated 05.08.2026 in B.A. No.6939 of 2026 respectively. 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 above-named 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 Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Deoghar, in connection with Mohanpur P.S. Case No. 60 of 2026 with the condition that the petitioner will co-operate with the trial of the case and will furnish his mobile number and photocopy of the Aadhar Card with an undertaking that he will not change his mobile number during the trial of the case, with further condition that he will not annoy or disturb the witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case.
