JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Lakhan C. Roy, Advocate For the State : Ms. Sushma Aind, Addl. P.P. ------ Order No.05 Dated- 17.03.2026 Heard the parties. The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Deoghar Town P.S. Case No.504 of 2025 registered for the offences punishable under sections 310(2) of the B.N.S., 2023. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner along with co- accused persons committed dacoity and looted mobile phone of the informant and forcibly got transferred Rs.1,00,000/- to them through their mobile phone. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and the petitioner has been implicated in this case only on the basis of the statement of the co-accused- Raja Choudhary. It is then submitted that the petitioner has not been identified in the T.I. Parade as mentioned in paragraph no.8 of the bail application and except the confessional statement of the petitioner himself and the co- accused, there is no material to implicate the petitioner in this case. It is next submitted that no amount of money has been transferred to the account of the petitioner and charge sheet has been submitted in this case. It is further submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in paragraph no.11 of the bail application. It is then submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 12.11.2025, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 15 of the bail application. It is next 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 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 C.J.M., Deoghar, in connection with Deoghar Town P.S.
