JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Pran Pranay, Advocate For the State : Mrs. Ruby Pandey, Addl. P.P. ------ Order No.02 Dated- 25.02.2026 Heard the parties. The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Jamtara Cyber Crime P.S. Case No.68 of 2025 registered for the offences punishable under sections 111(2)(b)/ 317(2)/317(5)/318(4)/319(2)/338/336(3)/340(2)/3(5) of the B.N.S., 2023, Section 66B/66C/66D of I.T. Act and under Section 42 (3) (e) of Telecommunication Act, 2023. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner was involved in cybercrime and one mobile phone along with sim card was recovered from the possession of the petitioner and the mobile phone of the petitioner was used for creation of e-wallets. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false. It is then submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 19.11.2025 as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 17 of the bail application. It is further submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 16 of the bail application. It is next submitted that the petitioner undertakes to cooperate with the trial of the case. It is lastly submitted that the co-accused persons have already been admitted to bail by coordinate Benches of this Court. 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 abovenamed 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 Special Judge Cyber Crime, Jamtara, in connection with Jamtara Cyber Crime P.S. Case No.68 of 2025 with the condition that the petitioner will cooperate with the trial of the case and will furnish his mobile number and a copy of his Aadhar Card in the court below with the undertaking that he will not change his mobile number during the trial of the case.
