JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Sahil, Advocate For the State : Mr. Subodh Kr. Dubey, Addl. P.P. ------ Order No.02 Dated- 17.04.2026 Heard the parties. The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Budmu P.S.

The learned counsel for the petitioner files a supplementary affidavit. Keep the same in the record. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that this is the third journey of the petitioner with the prayer for regular bail and earlier the prayer for regular bail of the petitioner was rejected vide order dated 09.06.2025 in B.A. No. 3835 of 2025 and vide order dated 12.12.2025 in B.A. No. 10001 of 2025. It is next submitted that the fresh ground is that in the meanwhile, the informant of the case, who has been examined as P.W.1, has not stated anything to implicate the petitioner in this case. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 12.01.2025, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 15 of the bail application. It is further 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 above-named 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 Judicial Magistrate -1st Class, Ranchi, in connection with Budmu P.S.
