The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Jainagar (Telaiya Dam O.P.) P.S. Case No.213 of 2025 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 in furtherance of common intention with the co-accused persons has committed the murder of Gobardhan Sao and caused disappearance of the evidence of the murder. 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 he has been implicated in this case only because he was allegedly having illicit relationship with the wife of the deceased and the motorcycle allegedly used in commission of the murder as also the A.T.M. card of the wife of the deceased has been seized from the house of the petitioner. 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 18.09.2025, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 01 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 Sessions Judge, Koderma, in connection with Jainagar (Telaiya Dam O.P.)
