Petitioner Versus The State of Jharkhand .... .... .... Opposite Party ------ CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Anurag Kashyap, Advocate For the State : Mr. Manoj Kr. Mishra, APP ------ Order No.02 Dated- 18-04-2026 Heard the parties. The petitioner has been made accused in connection with Tarhasi P.S. Case No. 2 of 2026 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 117 (2), 109, 333 and 3(5) of BNS, 2023 and under section 27 of the Arms Act. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner attempted to commit murder of the informant by firing upon him at his temporal region from point blank range. It is next submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the allegation against the petitioner is false and due to the land dispute, the petitioner has falsely been implicated in this case. It is then submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 11.02.2026 as has been mentioned in para 13 of the bail application. It is further submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in para 14 of the bail application. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be admitted to bail. Learned Addl. P.P. on the other hand vehemently opposes the prayer for bail and submits that keeping in view the direct allegation against the petitioner of firing upon the informant on his temporal region from the pistol causing grievous injury to the informant, there is every chance of the petitioner absconding and tampering with the evidence, if released on bail. Hence it is submitted that the petitioner ought not be released on bail. Considering the serious nature of allegation against the petitioner as well as the chance of the petitioner absconding and tampering with the evidence, if released on bail, this Court is of the considered view that this is not a fit case where the above-named petitioner be released on bail. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the above-named petitioner is rejected. (Anil Kumar Choudhary, J.) Dated- 18.04.2026-Abha/-
