JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Rahul Pandey, Advocate For the State : Mr. Sardhu Mahto, Addl. P.P. ------ Order No.03 Dated- 29.09.2026 Heard the parties. The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with S.T. Case No. 391 of 2026 arising out of Jagarnathpur (Pundag) P.S. Case No.24 of 2026 registered for the offences punishable under sections 103(1)/238/3(5) of the B.N.S., 2023. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner has committed the murder of Wasim Mansuri. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and so far the P.W.1 –Ajit Kumar Singh has been examined but he has only stated that the petitioner was an associate of the deceased and except that he has not stated anything to implicate the petitioner in this case. It is then submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in para –15 of the bail application. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 06.02.2026, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 14 of the bail application. It is then submitted that the petitioner has been implicated in this case only on the basis of suspicion. 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. 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 Additional Judicial Commissioner - XIII, Ranchi, in connection with S.T. Case No. 391 of 2026 arising out of Jagarnathpur (Pundag) P.S. Case No.24 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.
