Heard the parties.
The petitioner has been made accused in connection with Tatijharia P.S. case No. 07 of 2026 instituted under Sections 115(2), 126(2), 132, 221, 109(1), 324 (2), 352/ 3 (5) of BNS, 2023.
Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner in furtherance of the common intention with the co-accused persons, used criminal force against the public servant police personnel, deterring them from discharging their duty. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioner is false. It is next submitted that though the FIR was registered inter alia under Section 109(1) of the BNS but it is evident from para 46 of the case diary, that the charge sheet has been submitted against the petitioner for having committed the offences punishable under Sections 115(2), 126(2), 132, 221, 324 (2), 352/ 3 (5) of BNS, 2023. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 18.01.2026, as mentioned in para 10 of this bail application. It is next submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in paragraph no.12 of the bail application. It is next submitted by
learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner undertakes to co-operate with the trial of the case and further undertakes not to indulge in any offence in any manner during trial of the case, if
released on bail. It is lastly submitted that the co-accused person with similar allegation has already been admitted to bail by this Court vide order dated 08.04.2026 in B.A. No.1879 of 2026. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be admitted to bail.
Learned Addl. P.P. opposed the prayer for regular bail.
Considering submissions of learned counsels and the facts as stated above, I am inclined to release the petitioner on bail. Hence, the court below is directed to release the petitioner 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 J.M.F.C., Hazaribagh in connection with Tatijharia P.S. case No. 07 of 2026 with the condition that the petitioner will not indulge in any offence in any manner during trial of the case, if released on bail and will cooperate with the trial of the case and will furnish mobile phone number and photocopy of the Aadhar Card in the court below with an undertaking that he will not change the mobile phone number during the trial of the case.
