Andhari, P.S. Kumardungi, District-West Singbhum, Jharkhand. ....Petitioner Versus The State of Jharkhand. ....Opp. Party --------- CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE DEEPAK ROSHAN --------- For the Petitioner : Mr. Birendra Kumar, Advocate For the Opp. Party : Mr. Anup Pawan Topno, A.P.P. --------- 02/Dated:-20.02.2026 1. 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 103 (1), 303 (2) and 3/5 of BNS Act, 2023. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has falsely been implicated in this case and he has not named in the F.I.R. He further submits that the petitioner has not criminal antecedent and the petitioner is in custody since 11.06.2025. He further submits that the petitioner is ready to abide by every condition as imposed by this court. 4. Learned A.P.P. opposes the prayer for bail of the petitioner. 5. Having regard to the facts of the case and looking to the allegations made against this petitioner and also the fact that the charge has been framed coupled with the fact that out of 15 charge-sheeted witnesses, only one witness has been examined as such there is no likelihood of early conclusion of trial and the petitioner is in custody since 11.06.2025; therefore, I am inclined to enlarge this petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the petitioner 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 Additional Sessions Judge, I, West Singhbhum at Chaibasa, in connection with Kumardungi, P.S. Case No. 13/2025 (S.T. Case No.324 of 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 witnesses and shall co- operate in trial and if any adverse report will come against this petitioner, learned trial court shall be at liberty to cancel the bail of this petitioner.
