( 2026:JHHC:11477 ) IN THE HIGH COURT OF JHARKHAND AT RANCHI B.A. No. 3269 of 2026 ------ Munna Oraon @ Santu Oraon, aged about 27 years, son of Angana Oraon, resident of Tangar Basli, P.O. & P.S.-Mandar Dist.-Ranchi … Petitioner Versus The State of Jharkhand … Opposite Party ------ CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Pran Pranay, Advocate For the State : Mr. Sanat Kr. Jha, Addl. P.P. ------ Order No.02 Dated- 20.04.2026 Heard the parties. The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Nagri P.S. Case No.152 of 2023 registered for the offences punishable under sections 395/397 of the Indian Penal Code. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner has committed dacoity and caused hurt to the informant and looted motorcycle and mobile phone at the point of pistol. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and the petitioner is not named in the FIR and without putting him on T.I. Parade, charge sheet has been submitted against the petitioner, as has been mentioned in paragraph no.09 of the bail application. It is then submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 13.11.2025, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 15 of the bail application. It is next submitted that the petitioner undertakes to cooperate with the trial of the case and further undertakes that he will not annoy or disturb 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 abovenamed 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 J.M. 1st Class, Ranchi, in connection with Nagri P.S. Case No.152 of 2023 with the condition that the petitioner will cooperate with the trial of the case and will furnish his mobile number and a copy of his Aadhar Card in the court below with the undertaking that he will not change his mobile number during the trial of the case, with further condition that he will not annoy or disturb the witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case.
