JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Ashok Kumar, Advocate For the State : Mr. Naveen Kr. Ganjhu, Addl. P.P. ------ Order No.03 Dated- 23.04.2026 Heard the parties. The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Chanho P.S. Case No.27 of 2020 registered for the offences punishable under sections 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code and under Section 27 of the Arms Act. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner has committed murder of the father of the informant by firing upon him on the suspicion that he was a police informer. 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 been implicated in this case on the basis of his self-confessional statement and on the allegation that he is member of an extremist organization. It is further submitted that the co-accused on whose confessional statement the petitioner has been implicated in this case has already been granted bail by a coordinate bench of this Court vide order dated 05.04.2023 in B.A. No. 469 of 2023. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 04.04.2025, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 01 of the bail application. It is then submitted that charge sheet has already been submitted in this case but no witness has been examined so far. 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 Chanho P.S. Case No.27 of 2020 with the condition that the petitioner will co-operate with the trial of the case and will furnish his mobile number and photocopy of the Aadhar Card with an 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 informant or the witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case.
