The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Namkum P.S. Case No.217 of 2025 registered for the offences punishable under sections 310(2) and 311 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 the co-accused persons being armed with deadly weapons entered into the premises of the Grid Sub-Station, Namkum, Ranchi and committed theft of copper strips, flexible bonds, cables, connectors and other valuable electrical equipment worth Rs.17,00,000/-. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and the petitioner is not named in the F.I.R. It is next submitted that the petitioner has not been put on Test Identification Parade as has been mentioned in para -13 of the bail application. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 10.02.2026, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 16 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 Namkum P.S.
