JUSTICE PRADEEP KUMAR SRIVASTAVA -------- For the Petitioner : Mr. Arwind Kumar, Advocate. For the State : Mr. Azeemuddin, A.P.P. --------- Order No. 05/Dated: 23rd March, 2026 1. Heard learned counsel for the parties. 2. The petitioner has been made accused in connection with Tisri P.S. Case No. 63 of 2024 corresponding to G.R. No. 11 of 2025, registered for the offence under Sections 103 (1), 238 and 3(5) of the B.N.S. 3. It has been alleged that from 15.09.2024, husband of the informant was missing and later on, on 16.09.2024 at about 7:00 A.M., dead body of informant’s husband was recovered from a place near Belwana Soti. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that petitioner has been falsely implicated in this case only on the basis of confessional statement of co-accused persons. It is further submitted that during pendency of the case, it revealed that wife of the deceased herself was in love affair with the co-accused Md. Basir and they conspired and committed murder of the deceased. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that no material has been collected during investigation showing involvement of the present petitioner, except his confessional statement and the confession of co-accused. Other co- accused Md. Basir as well as Khushbu Khatoon, wife of the deceased, who was informant of this case, have been granted bail by Co-ordinate 2026:JHHC:8182 Bench of this Court vide B.A. No. 5265 of 2025 dated 10.11.2025 and B.A. No. 10741 of 2025 dated 17.02.2026. The case of the petitioner stands on better footing to that of the co-accused, who have been granted bail, as stated above. Hence, the petitioner may be extended the privilege of bail. 5. Learned Addl.P.P appearing for the State has opposed the prayer for bail of the petitioner and has submitted that from the confessional statement of present petitioner and other co-accused persons, it appears that petitioner caught leg of the deceased and other co-accused Md. Basir has given brutal assault leading to his death, therefore, the petitioner does not deserve the privilege of bail. 6. Considering the manner of implication of petitioner and the allegation against the petitioner, I am inclined to release the above- named petitioner, on bail. Accordingly, the petitioner named above, is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.20,000/- (Rupees twenty thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Judicial Magistrate, 1st Class, Giridih, in connection with Tisri P.S. Case No. 63 of 2024 corresponding to G.R. No. 11 of 2025. (Pradeep Kumar Srivastava, J.) March 23, 2026 Sunil/ Uploaded on 25/03/2026
