Heard the parties.
The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Simaria P.S. Case No.169 of 2021 registered for the offences punishable under sections 406, 409, 420, 120B & 34 of the Indian Penal Code.
The learned counsel for the petitioner files a supplementary affidavit. Keep the same in the record.
The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner while being posted as cashier has misappropriate Rs.53,00,000/- plus coins worth Rs.1,43,394/-in furtherance of common intention with the co-accused persons. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false. It is next submitted that the petitioner is a lady and she is suffering from suspected case of left breast mass which requires specialized treatment and which cannot be done unless she is granted bail. It is then submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in para –18 of the bail application. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 08.09.2025, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 01 of the bail application. It is further submitted that the petitioner undertakes to cooperate with the trial of the case and further undertakes that she 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 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 A.C.J.M., Chatra, in connection with Simaria P.S. Case No.169 of 2021 with the condition that the petitioner will co-operate with the trial of the case and will furnish her mobile number and photocopy of the Aadhar Card with an undertaking that she will not change her mobile number during the trial of the case, with further condition that she will not annoy or disturb the witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case.
