Sonaraithari, District-Deoghar. .......... Petitioner. -Versus- The State of Jharkhand .......... Opp. Party. ----- CORAM : HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH SHANKAR ----- For the Petitioner : Mr. Sudhanshu Kr. Deo, Advocate For the State : Mr. Manoj Kr. Mishra, A.P.P. ----- Order No.02 Date: 30.04.2026 1. The petitioner is an accused in the case registered for the offences punishable under Sections 319(2), 318(4), 338, 336(3), 340(2), 61(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023 and Section 66B, 66C, 66D and 84C of the Information Technology Act. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the present case and has not committed any offence as alleged in the F.I.R. The petitioner was allegedly arrested from the spot along with a mobile phone and SIM card. It is further submitted that except the said recovery, there is no material to connect the petitioner with the alleged offence. It is also submitted that co-accused-Nasim Ansari has been granted regular bail by this Court vide order dated 30th April, 2026 passed in B.A. No.3621 of 2026. The case of the petitioner being similarly situated to that of co- accused Nasim Ansari, he may also be granted the privilege of regular bail. 3. Learned A.P.P., while opposing the petitioner’s prayer for regular bail, submits that the case of the co-accused-Nasim 2026:JHHC:12675 2 Ansari is different from the petitioner, as during technical enquiry, crime links were found on the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal with acknowledgment numbers against the SIM cards of the mobile phones recovered from the petitioner, co-accused-Sufiyan Ansari and Ajay Kumar Das. So far as the co-accused, Nasim Ansari is concerned, no such crime link has been found against the SIM card of the mobile phone recovered from his possession. Hence, the petitioner may not be granted the privilege of regular bail. 4. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and considering the aforesaid facts collected during the investigation, and that the case of the petitioner is not similarly situated to that of co- accused Nasim Ansari, I am not inclined to grant him regular bail. 5. The present bail application is accordingly dismissed. (Rajesh Shankar, J.) 30th April, 2026 Rohit/ Uploaded on 30.04.2026
