The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Sitaramdera P.S. Case No.147 of 2025 registered for the offences punishable under Section 25(1-B)(a)/26/35 of Arms Act. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner was in illegal possession of a pistol with live cartridges. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false. It is next submitted that the fire arm was recovered from the co-accused Raj Singh Kashyap @ Kodu and Rajesh Giri @ Dantu. It is next submitted that petitioner was also instrumental in firing upon the house of Hareram Singh for demanding extortion. It is then submitted that the petitioner is not named in the FIR. It is next submitted that the petitioner was not present in the alleged place of occurrence. 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/victim or the witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case. It is lastly submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 15.01.2026 as is evident from para- 01 of this bail application. 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 J.M.-1st Class, Jamshedpur, in connection with Sitaramdera P.S.
