JUSTICE DEEPAK ROSHAN For the Petitioner(s) : Mr. Sanjeev Thakur, Advocate For the Respondent(s) : Mr. Achinto Sen, APP -------- Order No. 03/Dated: 27th February 2026 Heard learned counsel for the parties. 2. The instant bail application has been preferred by the petitioner for grant of regular bail for the offences registered under Sections 302, 201/34 IPC in connection with Jarmundi PS Case No. 146 of 2021 (G.R Case No.554 of 2025). 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is innocent and has not committed any offence. He submits as per the postmortem report death of the deceased is due to asphyxia caused by drowning and the petitioner is in custody since 26.06.2025 as such the petitioner may be enlarged on bail. 4. Learned APP opposes the prayer for bail of the petitioner. 5. Having regard to the allegation made against the petitioner which is contradictory to the postmortem report as has been admitted in paragraph no. 9 of the counter affidavit coupled with fact that the petitioner is in custody since 26.06.2025, I am inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the petitioner, above-named, is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand only) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Dumka in connection with Jarmundi PS Case No. 146 of 2021 (G.R Case No.554 of 2026:JHHC:5984 2 2025). 6. It is made clear that the petitioner shall appear on each and every date before the learned trial Court and he shall not threaten any witness and shall co-operate in trial and if any adverse report will come against the above-named petitioner, learned trial Court shall be at liberty to cancel the bail of the above-named petitioner. 7. Accordingly, the instant bail application stands allowed. (Deepak Roshan, J.) 27th February 2026 Amit Uploaded on 28/02/2026
