2026:JHHC:5045 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JHARKHAND AT RANCHI B.A. No.11554 of 2025 ----- Tinku Singh, son of Nunulal Singh, resident of Jarmundi, PO and PS Jarmundi, District Jarmundi, State Jharkhand … Petitioner(s). Versus The State of Jharkhand … Opposite Party(s). CORAM : SRI ANANDA SEN, J. ------ For the Petitioner(s) : Mr. Ashish Verma, Advocate For the State : Mr. Sunil Kr. Dubey, APP …...... 03 /19.02.2026: This bail application has been filed under Sections 483 & 484 of BNSS, 2023 wherein, prayer has been made for grant of bail as he is in custody for allegedly committing offence punishable under Sections 302 and 306 of the Indian Penal Code. 2. Heard, learned counsel for the petitioner, learned counsel for the State and have also gone through the impugned order. 3. Learned APP opposes the prayer for bail. 4. Though the case was initiated under Section 302 of Indian Penal Code but charge has been framed under Section 302 and alternatively under section 306 of the Indian Penal Code. It is the case that the wife of the petitioner has committed suicide. 5. After hearing the learned counsel for the parties and after going through the record, I find that the postmortem report suggests that there are some abrasions but those are not sufficient to cause death in ordinary circumstances. Further, the doctor opined that cause of death is due to asphyxia as a result of hanging. Witnesses have also stated that the petitioner who is husband on the date of occurrence came in inebriated stage in his house and abused his wife as a result of which this occurrence has taken place. 2026:JHHC:5045 2 6. Considering the postmortem report where the doctor has opined that death is due to hanging which can be suicide, I am inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the petitioner, named above, is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned Additional Session Judge-II, Dumka in connection with Jarmundi PS Case No. 46 of 2022 (ST Case No. 124 of 2025) subject to the condition that one of the bailors should be a close relative of the petitioner, having sufficient landed property in his own name within the State of Jharkhand. 7. Accordingly, this bail application is allowed. 7. Accordingly, this bail application is allowed. (ANANDA SEN, J.) 19.02.2026 Tanuj/CP-2 Uploaded on 21.02.2026
