The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with T. Tangar P.S. Case No.66 of 2025 registered for the offences punishable under sections 115(2)/126(2)/109/3(5) of the B.N.S., 2023.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner along with the co- accused persons, has committed murder of Binay Kullu. It is next submitted that the allegation against the petitioner is false. It is then submitted that the only basis of implication of the petitioner in the case concerned is that in the statement made by the deceased in the hospital, where the deceased was treated, the deceased disclosed that the co-accused Ajay arranged the liquor and the petitioner and the co-accused persons made the deceased take liquor but there is neither any allegation against the petitioner or any of the co-accused persons of assaulting the deceased, nor the deceased has stated about the same. It is next submitted that the deceased under the influence of liquor fell down and sustained injury, which ultimately resulted in his death during the course of his treatment, after about 10 days. It is then submitted that the
petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in para -24 of the bail application. It is further submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 21.01.2026 as mentioned in para- 25 of the instant bail application. It is next submitted that the co-accused person has already been admitted to bail by this Court vide order dated 23.04.2026 in B.A. No. 3390 of 2026. It is lastly submitted that the petitioner undertakes to co-operate with the trial of the case and also undertakes not to 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 released on bail. Learned Addl. P.P. appearing for the State opposes the prayer for bail of the petitioner.
Considering the facts of this case, the above-named petitioner is directed to be enlarged 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 the learned Judicial Magistrate- 1st Class, Simdega in connection with T. Tangar P.S. Case No. 66 of 2025 with the condition that he will co-operate with the trial of the case and furnish his mobile number and photocopy of the Aadhar Card in the court below with an undertaking that he will not change his mobile number during the trial of the case and he will not annoy or disturb the witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case.
