2026:JHHC:12691 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JHARKHAND AT RANCHI B.A. No. 3010 of 2026 Jitendra Kumar, aged about 35 years, S/o. Sri Raj Kishore Mandal, R/o. Ward No. 6, Pharhi, P.O.- Khaira Pharhi, Forbesganj, P.S.- Narpatganj, Dist.- Araria, Bihar. … Petitioner Versus The State of Jharkhand … Opposite Party Coram: Hon’ble Mr. Justice Pradeep Kumar Srivastava For the Petitioner : Mr. Ashok Kr. Jha, Advocate For the State : Mr. Gautam Rakesh, A.P.P. Order No.03/Dated- 30th April, 2026 1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P. 2. The petitioner has been made an accused in connection with Cyber Crime Case No. 12/2023 arising out of Ranchi Cyber Crime P.S. Case No. 47/2023, registered for offences punishable under Sections 120(B), 384, 406, 419, 420, 467, 468 & 471 of the I.P.C. and Sections 66(B), 66(C) & 66(D) of the I.T. Act, which is pending in the Court of learned A.J.C.-II-cum-Spl. Judge, Cyber Crime, Ranchi. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that regular bail application of the petitioner was earlier rejected by this Court in B.A. No. 2959/2024. It is further submitted that the petitioner is in judicial custody since 28.08.2023. It is also submitted that charge was framed against the petitioner on 27.02.2024 and there are only four charge-sheeted witnesses in this case but even after expiry of two years from the date of framing of charge, not a single witness has been examined by the concerned Trial Court till date. There is no likelihood of the trial to be concluded in near future. Petitioner undertakes to cooperate in the trial of the case and abides by all 2026:JHHC:12691 terms and conditions which may be imposed. Hence, the petitioner may be admitted to bail. 4. Learned A.P.P. has opposed the prayer for bail of the petitioner. 5. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case and also in view of the fact that petitioner is in custody for more than two years, I feel inclined to release the petitioner on bail. The petitioner, above named, 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.J.C.-II-cum-Spl. Judge, Cyber Crime, Ranchi in connection with Cyber Crime Case No. 12/2023 arising out of Ranchi Cyber Crime P.S. Case No. 47/2023 with the condition that petitioner shall appear physically on each and every date during the trial of case till its conclusion unless his physical appearance is dispensed with for sufficient cause to the satisfaction of the learned trial court and with further condition that petitioner shall not indulge in tampering with the prosecution evidence or influence the witnesses or gain over them.
