JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Rajesh Kumar, Advocate For the State : Mr. V.S. Sahay, Addl. P.P. ------ Order No.02 Dated- 07.04.2026 Heard the parties. The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Herhanj P.S.

Act. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner was member of an unlawful assembly and in prosecution of common object of the assembly demanded extortion and attempted to murder the informant and other drivers of the vehicles running on the highway. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false. It is next submitted that the petitioner is not named in the F.I.R. and without putting him on Test Identification Parade, as mentioned in para-11 of the bail application, charge sheet has been submitted against the petitioner. It is then submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 01.09.2025, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 14 of the bail application. 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 informant or 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 C.J.M., Latehar, in connection with Herhanj P.S. Case No.40 of 2024 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 informant or the witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case.
